προβαίνω [page 537]
go forward, advance, as in Mar_1:19 , is seen in BGU IV. 1209 .10 (B.C. 23) ἐπεὶ οὖν σὺν θεοῖς οὐδὲν μὲν προβέβη (κεν ), PSI I. 50 .15 (iv/v A.D.) καὶ προβῇ τὸ ἔργον τῆς μικρᾶς ξενίας τῆς περὶ τὴν ληνόν .
For the metaph. use of advance in years, cf. P Par 15 .62 (B.C. 120) ἔτι δὲ καὶ προβεβηκότος ἤδη τοῖς ἔτεσι , and similarly P Tor I. 1 vii. 29 (B.C. 116) : cf. Luk_1:7 ; Luk_1:18 ; Luk_2:36 , where however ἐν is added before the datives.
