Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐκπληρόω [page 197] For the meaning make good in Act_13:33 , cf. an interesting letter from Petenephiλs, apparently a priest, requesting the release of certain persons that they may be able to furnish the supplies of food for the sacred crocodiles, P Tebt I. 57 .13 (B.C. 114) τὰς τῶν ἱερῶν ζώιων σειταγωγίας ἐκπληρῶσαι , cf. ib. 48 .12 ( c. B.C. 113) μεχρὶ τοῦ τὸ προκείμενον ἐκπληρῶσαι , until we make up the aforesaid amount, and P Ryl II. 66 .8 (late ii/B.C.) ἵνα καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπροφασίστως ἐκπληρῶ τὰ πρόσλ̣ο̣ι̣πα , so that I also may make up the residues in full without excuse for failure (Edd.). Other examples of the verb are P Par 62 v. 4 (ii/B.C.) (cited s.v. ἀναπληρόω ), BGU IV. 1053 ii. 18 and 1055 .45 (both B.C. 13), P Oxy I 104 .18 (A.D. 96) ᾧ χορηγήσει ὁ αὐτὸς υἱὸς Ἀ . κατ᾽ ἔτος ἀργυρίου δρ [α ]χμὰς τεσσαράκοντα ὀκτὼ ἄχρι οὗ ἐκπληρώσωσι ἀργυρίου δραχμαὶ τριακόσιαι , where the verb is used intransitively, unless it is a mistake for ἐκπληρωθῶσι (see Herwerden Lex. s.v. ), cf. P Tebt I. 10 .7 (B.C. 119) φρόντισον ὡς τὰ τῆς ὑποσχέσεως ἐκπληρωθήσεται , take care that the terms of his agreement are fulfilled (Edd.). From the inscrr. we may cite the honorary decree of Epaminondas Syll 376 .54 (i/A.D.) ἵνα τούτων οὕτως τελεσθέντων καὶ ἡ ἡμετέρα πόλις φαίνηται πᾶσαν τειμὴν καὶ εὐσέβειαν ἐκπεπληρωκυῖα εἰς τὸν τοῦ κυρίου Σεβαστοῦ [Νέρωνος οἶκον .
