ἥκω [page 278] Preisigke 1046 (i/A.D.) Σεραπίων ἥκω πρὸς Σέραπι (ν ) πατέρ (α ) illustrates a common formula. Of greater importance is the use of the verb in relation to worship, as in Joh_6:37 , in such a passage as OGIS 186 .7 (B.C. 62) ἥκω πρὸς τὴν κ [υ ]ρίαν Ἶσιν : see Deissmann LAE , p. 356 n .6 . The aor. ἧξα , as in Rev_2:25 , may be cited from P Oxy VI. 933 .13 (late ii/A.D.) . . . μεγ̣[ά ]λην ἑορτὴν ἧ̣ξ̣α , I came to the great festival, and for the use of the perf. form owing to the perf. meaning, as ἥκασιν in Mar_8:3 ΰ ADN, cf. P Par 48 .9 (B.C. 153) (= Witkowski, 2 p. 91) ἥκαμεν εἰς τὸ Σεραπιεῖον βολάμενοι συνμῖξαί σοι , P Grenf II, 36 .18 (B.C. 95) καλῶς ἡμῖν ὧδε ἢ ἐν Διοσπόλει ἐὰν αἱρῆσθε πυρὸν ἀγοράσαι ἥκατε , also P Par 35 .30 (B.C163) ἀπεκρίθησαν ἡμῖν φήσαντες ἐπ᾽ ἐνεχυρασίαν ἡκένα [ι : see further Mayser Gr. p. 372. For other instances of the verb it is sufficient to quote ib. 49 .27 (B.C. 164 158) διὰ τοῦτο οὐκέτι ἥκει πρὸς ἐμὲ αἰσχυνθείς , P Oxy III. 531 .8 (ii/A.D.) ἐὰν γὰρ θεοὶ θέλωσι τάχιον πρὸς σε ἥξω μετὰ τὸν Μεχεὶρ μῆνα , ib. VII. 1025 .10 (late iii/A.D.) ἐξαυτῆς ἥκετε , come at once, and ib. X. 1252 recto .30 (A.D. 288 95) προσέταξεν . . . ἥκειν μετὰ τῶν ἀποδειξέων , gave orders to come with the proofs. See also the striking invitation to celebrate the accession of Hadrian, P Giss I. 3 .2 (A.D. 117) (= Chrest. l. p. 571 ), where the god Phoebus is represented as saying ἥκω σοι , ὦ δῆμ [ε , οὐκ ἄγνωστος Φοῖβος θεὸς ἄνα - κτα καινὸν Ἁδριανὸν ἀγγελῶ [ν .

ἥκω "to have come, be present, be here", Lat. adesse, properly in a perf. sense, with the imperf. ἧκον as plup., "I had come", and fut. ἥξω as fut. perf. "I shall have come", directly opp. to οἴχομαι "to be gone", while ἔρχομαι "to come or go" serves as pres. to both, Hom. , etc.:—"to return", Xen. "to have reached a point", ἐς τοσήνδ᾽ ὕβριν Soph. ; ἐς τοσοῦτον ἀμαθίας Plat. δι᾽ ὀργῆς ἥκειν to be angry, Soph. ; cf. διά A. IV. like ἔχω B. II, εὖ ἥκειν τινός "to be" well "off for" a thing, "have plenty of" it, as, εὖ ἡκ.τοῦ βίου Hdt. ; καλῶς αὐτοῖς ἧκον βίου "as they had come" to a good age, Eur. ; ὧδε γένους ἡκ. τινί "to be" this degree of kin to him, id=Eur. :—also, εὖ ἥκειν, absol., "to be" well "off", flourishing, Hdt. :—c. gen. only, σὺ δὲ δυνάμιος ἥκεις μεγάλης thou art in great power, id=Hdt. of things, "to be brought", id=Eur. , etc.; ἵν᾽ ἥκει τὰ μαντεύματα what they "have come to", Soph. "to concern, relate", or "belong to", εἴς ἐμ᾽ ἥκει τὰ πράγματα Ar. "to depend upon", ἐπί τι Dem.
