ἐκλείπω [page 195] Notwithstanding Field ( Notes , p. 79) and Moffatt, it seems more than doubtful that in Luk_23:45 any reference is intended to an eclipse. To find such a reference is to involve the Evangelist in a needless blunder, as an eclipse is impossible at full moon, and to run counter to his general usage of the verb = fail (16 .9 , 22 .32 , cp. Heb_1:12 ). For this meaning cf. P Hamb I. 27 .14 (B.C. 250) ἐ̣άν τι αὐτῶν ἐγλιμπάνηι , P Leid B ii. 7 (B.C. 164) εἰς τὸ μηθὲν ἡμᾶς τῶν δεόντων ἐγλιπεῖν , and even ib. W ix. 6 (ii/iii A.D.) τὴν ὥραν ἐν ᾗ μέλλι ( l. μέλλει ) ἡ σελήνη ἐκλίπειν ( l. ἐκλείπειν ), horam in qua luna deficiet (in ariete). P Par 27 .14 (B.C. 160) ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐν τῷ μεταξὺ διαλυόμεναι τῷ λιμῷ κινδυνεύομεν τὸ ἱερὸν ἐγλείπειν shows ἐ . followed by the acc. of place. In P Tebt I. 105 .44 (B.C. 103) and 106 .23 (B.C. 101) it is used of renouncing a lease ἐγλιπεῖν τὴν μίσθωσιν : for a similar use of the subst. cf. P Lond 1166 .6 (A.D. 42) (= III. p. 104) μεχρὶ ἐκλείψεως τῶν λουομ̣ε̣ν̣ω (ν ). From the inscrr. may be cited Syll 226 .110 (iii/B.C.) ἐγλείπειν τὴν πόλιν , and OGIS 90 .18 (the Rosetta stone B.C. 196) τά τε ἐγλελειμμένα πάντα ἐν τοῖς πρότερον χρόνοις ἀποκατέστησεν εἰς τὴν καθήκουσαν τάξιν . On the form ἐγλείπειν see Mayser Gr. p. 227.
