κτάομαι , -ῶμαι , [in LXX chiefly for H7069 ;] in pres., impf ., fut . and aor. , to procure for oneself, get, gain, acquire (the pf . and plpf ., to have acquired, hence to possess , do not occur in NT): c . acc rei , Mat_10:9 , Luk_18:12 , Act_8:20 ; c . gen . pret., Act_22:28 ; ἐκ c . gen . pret., Act_1:18 ; τ ,ψυχὰς ὑμῶν ( MM , xvi), Luk_21:19 ; τ . ἑαυτοῦ σκεῦος κτᾶσθαι , 1Th_4:4 (where if σ . = body, κ . must = pf ., κέκτημαι ; v.

κτάομαι [page 361] Occurrences of pres. and aor. may help some difficult NT passages P Petr II. 8(3) .7 (B.C. 246) ἐὰν ] δ̣έ τινες [κ ?]τήσωντ [αι , but if any shall acquire them, P Tebt II. 281 .11 (B.C. 125) παρὰ τῶν κτωμένων οἰκίας ἢ τόπους , from acquirers of houses or spaces, ib. I. 5 .242 (B.C. 118) μηδ᾽ ἄλλους κτᾶσθαι μηδὲ χρῆσθαι τοῖς τε λινυφαντικοῖς καὶ βυσσουργικοῖς ἐργαλείοις , nor shall any other persons take possession of or use the tools required for cloth-weaving or byssus-manufacture (Edd.), P Oxy II. 259 .6 (A.D. 23) ὀμνύω . . . εἶ μὴν κτήσεσθαι ἡμ [έ ]ρας τριάκοντα ἐν αἷ ( l. αἷς ) ἀ [πο ]καταστήσω ὃν ἐνγεγύημαι παρὰ σοῦ ἐκ [τ ]ῆς πολιτικῆς φυλα [κ ]ῆς , I swear that I have thirty days in which to restore to you the man whom I bailed out of the public prison (Edd.), where we seem to have the rather common confusion of aor. and fut. inf., cf. ib . .16 μὴ ἔχοντός μου ἐκξ (= ἐξ )ουσίαν χρόνον ἕτερον [κ ]τ̣η̣[σ ]εσθαι , and I have no power to obtain a further period of time (Edd.), ib. 237 vii. 42 (A.D. 186) ὧν ἐὰν κ̣α̣ι̣, ἴδια κτήσωνται μεθέτε̣ρα , of whatever they may acquire themselves besides (Edd.). A good illustration for Luk_21:19 you shall win your own selves, as opposed to forfeiting self in 9 .24 , may be found in P Par 63 .127 (B.C. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 28) τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐκ τηλι̣κ̣α̣ύτης καταφθ (ο )ρᾶ [ς ] ἀ̣ρ̣τ [ί ]ως ἀνακτωμένους , the population recovering from so great a distress (Mahaffy). So we say of a sick man, He isn t himself yet. This same meaning of acquire, gradually obtain the complete mastery of the body, is probably to be preferred in 1Th_4:4 (as against Thess. p. 49). For the perf. κέκτημαι (not found in the NT) with its present force possess (cf. Proleg. p. 147) we may cite P Tebt I. 5 .97 (B.C. 118) οἱ ] τὴν [σπό ]ριμον κεκτημένοι , P Oxy IV. 705 .70 (A.D. 200 2) χωρία κεκτήμεθα , own estates, ib. VI. 903 .34 iv/A.D.) ὅσα κέκτηται , how much she has possessed herself of, and from the inscrr. Syll 178 .14 (end of iv/B.C.) ἔδωκεν . . καὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκγόνοις , κυρίοις οὖσι κεκτῆσθαι καὶ ἀλλάσσεσθαι καὶ ἀποδόσθαι . See also P Eleph 14 .23 (Ptol.) κυριεύσουσιν δὲ καθ᾽ ἃ καὶ οἱ πρῶτον κύριοι ἐκέκτηντο , and the contracted ἐκτῶντο in BGU III. 992 ii. 6 (B.C. 167). Other reff. to the inscriptional evidence will be found in Mayser Gr. p. 340.
