κατακολουθέω [page 327]
κατακολουθέω is found in the NT ( Luk_23:55 , Act_16:17 ) only in its literal sense, but for the derived meaning, as in LXX Dan_9:10 , we may compare P Tor I. 1 ix. 26 (B.C. 117) καὶ αὐτοὶ κατακολουθήσαντες ταῖς ἐπενηνεγμέναις ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν συγγραφαῖς , P Tebt I. 30 .4 (B.C. 115) ὅπως εἰδὼς κατακολουθῇς τοῖς ἐπισταλμένοις , ib. 40 .19 (B.C. 117) (= Selections , p. 28) κατακολουθεῖν τοῖς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐθισμοῖς , P Grenf II. 23 .3 (B.C. 108?) κατακολουθήσας οὖν τοῖς διὰ τούτου σημαινομένοις , OGIS 329 .3 (ii/B.C.) κατηκ [ο ]λουθηκότος ταῖς ἑκάστων αὐτῶν βουλήσεσιν . In P Lond 23( c ) .51 (B.C. 158 7) (= I. p. 39) a docket instructs the clerks to carry out a certain order τοῖς γραμματεῦσιν κατακολουθῖν : cf. P Meyer 1 .30 (B.C. 144). See also Laqueur Quaestiones , p. 25 f.
