Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀνάλημψις [page 35] P Tebt II. 296 .19 (A.D. 123) is the receipt for money paid for a priestly office, ἐξ ἀναλ (ήψεως ) ἐν αὐτῷ as payable by himself (Edd.) : cf. reference to this document under the verb. It means entertainment ( sc. one form of reception ) in Syll 418 .36 (iii/A.D.), ἀναγκάζουσιν ἡμᾶς ξενίας αὐτοῖς παρέχειν καὶ ἕτερα πλεῖστα εἰς ἀνάλημψιν αὐτῶν ἄνευ ἀργυρίου χορηγεῖν . P Oxy VI. 986 iii. (early ii/A.D.) αὐλὴ δηλ (ωθεῖσα ) ἐπικεκρατῆσθαι πρὸ τῆς ἀναλη̣μ̣ψεως ὑπὸ Πετεσούχου . OGIS 383 .102 the inscription of Antiochus I. of Commagene (i/B.C.) ὑπὲρ ἀναλήψεως διαδήματος , his coronation : see also the verb above. The substantive follows the verb s wide range of meaning, which we have only partially illustrated, as needless for the NT. Dr Charles ( l. c. above) quotes Ryle and James as claiming Pss. Sol. 4 .20 to be the earliest instance of its use (as in Luk_9:51 ) for ascension into heaven.
