Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐπιπορεύομαι [page 243] In P Petr II. 10(1) .11 ( c. B.C. 240) ἐ . is used of the visit of an administrator who makes extortionate demands on the hospitality of the natives ἐπιπορεύεται ἡμῖν συντάσσων διδόναι εἰς τὰ ξένια χῆνας ῑβ̄ , ἡμῶν οὐ δυναμένων , comes to see us, and orders us to give him for his entertainment twelve geese, this being out of our power (Ed.). The verb is fairly common in legal documents = proceed against, e.g. P Tebt II. 383 .38 (A.D. 46) καὶ μὴ ἐπιπορεύεσθαι ἑκάτερον τῷ ἑτέρῳ [ἐ ]φ᾽ ἃ ὁ ἕτ [ερος αὐτῶν κεκλή ]ρωται τρόπῳ μηθενί , and neither shall proceed against the other on any account in respect of the shares which each of them has received (Edd.) : see also Modica Introduzione , p. 120 f. For the simple meaning journey to cf. P Lille I. 3 .78 (after B.C. 241) συντετάχαμεν Μιύσει τῶι τοπ [ογρ (αμματεῖ ) ἐπὶ ] τούτους ἐπιπορεύεσθαι τοὺς τόπο [υς , Chrest. I. 116 .3 (ii/iii A.D.) θύε πᾶσι τοῖς θεοῖς . ἐφ᾽ ἕκαστον ἱερὸν ἐπιπορεύου προσκυνῶν , and cf. such an expression as P Tor I. 1 vii. 13 (B.C. 117) καὶ μὴ ἐξεῖναι ἐπὶ τὰ τῶν τετελευτηκότων ἐπιπορεύεσθαι , where it is forbidden to approach the affairs of the dead, with the view of administering the inheritance, until certain conditions have been fulfilled : see the editor s note p. 166. We may add Heraclitus Fragm. 71 ψυχῆς πείρατα οὐκ ἂν ἐξεύροιο πᾶσαν ἐπιπορευόμενος ὁδόν· οὕτω βαθὺν λόγον ἔχει , travelling over the whole road.
