Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

παρακαταθήκη P Oxy IV. 744° (B.C. 1) ἐρωτῶ σε καὶ παρακαλῶ σε ἐπιμελήθ --ητ--ἰ τῷ παιδίῳ, For παρακαλέω c. semi-final ἵνα, as in 1 Thess 41 B, cf. P Ryl IL. 2297 (a.p. 38) παρακάλεσον οὖν τὴν γυναῖκά σου τοῖς ἐμοῖς λόγοις, ἵνα ἐπιμελῆται τῶν χοιριδίων, and the Christian P Heid 61 (iv/aA.D.) (= Selections, p. 126) παρακαλῶ [ο]ὖν, δέσποτα, ἵνα μνημον[εἸύῃς μοι εἰς τὰς ἁγίας σου εὐχάς : see Proleg. p. 206 ff. Similarly παρακληθείς is used, much as we use “please ’” —P Fay 10098 (early i/A.D.) παρακληθεὶς τοὺς τρεῖς στατῆρες (= ας) ods εἴρηκέ σοι Σέλευκος δῶναί por ἤδη δὸς Κλέωνι, ““please give to Cleon the three staters which Seleucus told you to give me” (Edd.), and so!, P Ryl II. 2308 (a.p. 40) παρακληθβ εἰ]ς οὖν ἐκ παντὸς τρόπου ποίησον, ‘please do your utmost,” and P Tebt II. 448 (ii/iii a.p.) παρακληθεὶς δέ, ἄδελφε, συνλαβοῦ τῷ ἀναδίδοντί σοι τὸ ἐπιστόλιον. The somewhat stronger meaning ‘‘ exhort,” ‘‘urge,’’ is seen in P Oxy VII. 10614 (B.c. 22) ἀνάγκην ἔσχον παρακαλέσαι ἹΤ]τολεμαῖον, “1 have been obliged to urge Ptolemaeus,” P Amh IT. 1301 (aA.p. 70) παρακέκλημαι ἐπὶ μίσονος (/. μείζονος) ναύλου, “1 have been called on to pay (Ὁ) a higher freight,’’ BGU III. 846° (ii/a.p.) (= Selections, Ρ- 94) παρακα[λ]ῶ σοι, μήτηρ, δ[ι]αλάγητί por, “1 beg of you, mother, be reconciled to me,” and P Oxy I. 1173 in person ’’ (Edd.). For 2 Cor 128 Deissmann (ZAZ, p. 311) cites Sy 804 (= *1170)8! where a man, who was cured at the shrine of Asclepius in Epidaurus, records regarding one of his ills— kal yap περὶ τούτου παρεκάλεσα τὸν θεόν, “and concerning this thing I besought the god’’: see also P Leid Κϑ (8.6. 99) (=I. p. 52) πα[ρακα]λῶ δὲ κ[αὶ] αὐτοὺς τοὺς θεούς, ὅπῶς δῶσιν αὐτοῖς χ[άριν, and P Lond 12445 (ἰν.Δ.}.) (= III. p. 244) εὐχόμενος καὶ παρακαλῶν τὸν θεόν. With 1 Cor 413 (cf. Ac 1689) Lietzmann (1 Ζ,Τ7' ad /.) compares the use of the verb in Aristeas 229, 235, 238, 264. See also Menander Ayagm. p. 241— οὐχὶ παρακληθέντας ὑμᾶς δεῖ γὰρ ἡμῖν εὐνοεῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπάρχειν τοῦτο, *“you ought not to wait to be called on for goodwill to us: we should have that already.” A triple compd. προσεπιπαρακαλέω is found in BGU I. 2483 (i/A.D.), 24918 (ii/A.D. ).
