παρέχω [page 493] This common verb appears both in the act. and mid. = provide, supply : (1) act. P Eleph 1 .4 (marriage-contract B.C. 311 0) (= Selections , p. 2) παρεχέτω δὲ Ἡρακλείδης Δημητρίαι ὅσα προσήκει γυναικὶ ἐλευθέραι πάντα , let Heraclides provide for Demetria all things that are fitting for a freeborn woman, P Amh II. 48 .9 (B.C. 106) παρεχέτω οἶνον μόνιμον , let him provide wine that will keep, BGU II. 531 ii. 20 (A.D. 70 80) ἐὰν δὲ ἀστοχήσῃς , [αἰω ]ν̣ίαν μοι λοίπην [π ]αρέχιν μέλλις , if you forget me, you will cause me endless grief, P Oxy VI. 937 .24 (iii/A.D.) εἴ τινος χρῄζει ὁ Ἀντινοεὺς παρασχήσεις (for fut. cf. Proleg . p. 176 f.) αὐτῷ , if the man from Antinoφpolis wants anything provide him with it (Edd), P Gen I. 75 .14 (iii/iv A.D.) τόπον δὲ αὐτοῖς παράσχες ποῦ μίνωσιν , and the Christian P Oxy XIV. 1682 .6 (iv/A.D.) ἡ μὲν τοῦ θεοῦ πρόνοια παρέξει τὸ μετὰ ὁλοκληρίας σε τὰ οἰκεῖα άπολαβεῖν , may the divine providence grant that you may be restored in security to your home (Edd.). For the phrase κόπους παρέχειν τινί , as in Mat_26:10 al. , see s.v. κόπος and add BGU III. 815 .7 (ii/A.D.) ὁ προ [κου ]ράτορ μου κόπους [τινὰ ]ς πα [ρ ]έχῃ περὶ τῆς [δο ]χῆς , and more particularly for Gal_6:17 the Leiden papyrus cited s.v. βαστάζω . (2) mid. P Hal I. 8 .4 (B.C. 232) τὰς χρείας παρέχεσθαι , P Lond 1166 .14 (A.D. 42) (= III. p. 105) χωρὶς τοῦ παρασχέσθαι τοὺς ὁμολοῦντας ( l. ὁμολογοῦντας ) τὴν καῦσιν καθὼς προκεῖται ἔτι , with reference to the heating of a gymnasium, P Oxy II. 275 .26 (A.D. 66) (= Selections , p. 57) where it is provided that a father at the expiry of a contract of apprenticeship παρέξεται , shall produce, his son to make good any days on which he may have played truant (ἀτακτήσῃ ), ib. 286 .9 (A.D. 82) παρέξεσθαι ἐμέ τε καὶ τὴν μητέρα μου Θαῆσιν ἀπαρενοχλήτους καὶ ἀνεισπράκτους κατὰ πάντα τρόπον , would guarantee me and my mother against any trouble or liability whatsoever (Edd.), BGU III. 846 .11 (ii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 94) οἶδα τ̣ι̣ [ποτ᾽ αἰμαυτῷ παρέσχημαι , I know what I have brought upon myself. This prepares us for the further meaning show or present oneself, as in Tit_2:7 : e.g. P Par 63 viii. 15 (B.C. 164) ἐμαυτὸν ἀμεμψιμοίρητον παρέσχημαι , P Oxy II. 281 .13 (A.D. 20 50) παντελῶς ὄντα ἀνέγκλητον ἐματὴν ἐν ἁπᾶσει παρειχόμην , I showed myself completely blameless in every respect, and the marriage contract CPR I. 27 .14 (A.D. 190) αὐτῆς δὲ τῆς Θαϊσαρίου ἄμεμπτον καὶ ἀκατηγόρη [τον ἑαυτὴν παρ ]εχομένην (= ς ) ἐν τῇ συμβιώσει . Similarly in the inscrr. Magn 86 .13 (ii/B.C.) πρό [θυμο ]ν ἑα [υτὸν πρὸς τ ]ὰ π [α ]ρα [καλούμ ]ενα παρέχεται , Priene 65 .6 ( c. B.C. 190) εὔνου [ν ἑαυτὸν καὶ [ἐ ]κτενῆ παρεχόμεν [ος διετέλει , and the exx. in Herwerden Lex. s.v. and Deissmann BS p. 254. The technical use of παρέχω , pay, is seen in P Petr I. 16 (2) .13 (B.C. 230) where, with reference to the repayment of a sum of money, the person liable comes under an agreement ἐὰν δὲ μὴ διαγράψω [καὶ ] μὴ παρασχῶμαι τὸ λοιπὸν ἐμφανὲς ἀποτείσω ἡμιόλιον , if the whole be not paid then I will pay 50 per cent. over and above the money (as fine) (Ed.). So frequently in ostraca receipts, e.g. Ostr 1012 .4 (end ii/A.D.) παρέσχες εἰς στρ (ατηγικὰς ) χρείας εἴλης Ἡρακλειανῆς ἀχύ (ρου ) . . . εἰς γ (όμον ) ᾱ : cf. Ostr . i. p. 107 f.
