ἀνάγω [page 32] The use of ἀ . in Act_12:4 finds a ready parallel in Syll 366 .24 (i/A.D.) ἀναχθέντα εἰς τὸν δῆμον ἐὰν μὲν πολείτης ᾖ , ἀποξενοῦσθαι . For the meaning restore, bring back, cf. P Par 10 .12 τοῦτον ὃς ἂν ἀναγάγῃ , with reference to a runaway slave, and Wilcken s restoration ( Archiv iv. p. 548) of P Lond 921 .5 (ii/iiiA.D.) (= III. p. 134) ἀναγαγεῖν ε [ἰς ἄμπελον ] of bringing back certain arouras to use as a vineyard. See the editor s note on P Oxy VII. 1032 .8 (A.D. 162) ἀνη̣ξ̣α̣μ̣εν κτλ . we converted out of our own ancient plots . . . 7/16 of an aroura of vine-land, and ib. IV. 707 .23 ( c. A.D. 136) γῆν ἀνάξαι ἀμπέλῳ . (On the vulgar 1st aor. see above under ἄγω .) P Flor II. 134 .6 (A.D. 260) ἵν [α ] τὸ ἀναγόμενον ἐν Βουβάστῳ κτημάτιον ὑποσχισθῇ , is rendered by Comparetti perchθ la terra annessa in Bubasto venga dissodata. Syll 936 .6 καὶ καταβαλέτω τὰμ πεντηκοστὰν π [ρὶ ]ν ἀνάγειν τι ἢ πωλεῖν seems to mean before he brings (the merchandise) into the town or sells it, i.e. bring up from the landing stage. The familiar use of ἀνάγειν for putting out to sea is found in BGU IV. 1200 .14 (B.C. 1) τοῦ τὴν πρόσοδον ἀνη̣γ̣μ̣ένου εἰς Ἰτ̣αλίαν , modified in a transitive direction. For its sacrificial use (as in Act_7:41 ) cf. OGIS 764 .47 ( c. B.C. 127) ἀναγαγὼν ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου ταύρους δύο καὶ καλλιερή [σας κτλ . : so elsewhere in this inscr. (= Cagnat IV. 294).
