Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
εἰσάγω [page 187]
For εἰσάγω = bring in, without mention of place, as in Luk_2:27 , Act_7:45 , see the legal usage in P Amh II. 33 .14 ( c. B.C. 157) ἤδη τῶν καθ᾽ ἡμᾶς εἰσαγομένων πυνθανόμεθα τὸν ἐνκαλούμενον Τεσενοῦφιν μετὰ συνηγόρων συνκαθίστασθαι , just as our side is already coming into court we hear that the defendant T. is pleading with the assistance of advocates (Edd.) : cf. also P Oxy II. 259 .10 (A.D. 23) where a man who had been arrested for debt is described as τ̣ο̣̣ν εἰσηγμένον . In P Par 43 .2 (B.C. 154) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 79) συγγέγραμμαι τῆι Ἑσπέρου θυγατρί . μέλλω δὲ ἰσάγειν ἐν τῷ Μεσορὴ μηνί , the verb is used absolutely = marry ; similarly in P Grenf II. 78 .3 (A.D. 307) εἰσαγόμην ἐμαυτῷ γυναῖκα , where the dropped augment may be noted. In P Tebt II. 285 .6 (A.D. 239) οὔτε τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους . . . εἰς τὴν οἰκετείαν εἰσάγουσιν , nor can they introduce outsiders into the family, we have the construction with εἰς , as in Act_9:8 etc. P Tebt I. 20 .5 (B.C. 113) χαριεῖ σὺν σοὶ αὐτὸν εἰσαγαγών shows us the meaning introducing. Εἰσάγω is also common = import contrasted with ἐξάγω , export, e.g. P Lond 929 .5 (ii/iii A.D.) (= III. p. 41) Μέλας ἐξ (άγων ) ἐλέου καμ (ήλους ) γ̄ , Σώτας ἐξ (άγων ) πυροῦ καμ (ήλους ) δ̄ , Πόσις ἱ̣̓σα̣(γων ) οἴνου κεράμ (ια ) ῑβ̄ , P Ryl II. 197 .10, .14 (custom-house receipts late ii/A.D.) ἐξάγων ὀρόβου ἐπὶ ὄνῳ ἑνὶ . . . . . εἰ (σάγων ) ἐπὶ ὄνοις δυσὶ [ . . ] . [ . . ] . . ἕξ , exporting pulse on one donkey, importing six . . . on two donkeys. See also BGU IV. 1207 .11 (B.C. 28) σὺ οὖν κ̣α̣ι̣, [Ἁραμώτης ] ἀνδραγαθεῖτε καὶ εἰσάγεσθε τ̣[ιμὴν φ ]ακο̣υ̣̑ ὀλυρίω . For εἰσαγωγή it must be enough to cite P Tebt I. 41 .26 ( c. B.C. 119) αὐτ [οί ] τε ἀπαρενόχλητοι ὄντες δυν [ώ ]μεθα ἀντέχεσθαι τῆς εἰσαγωγῆς , we being undisturbed may be able to attend to the collection of the revenues (Edd.); for the office of εἰσαγωγεύς see Archiv iii. p. 23 ff.
