προσαναβαίνω [page 545]
For the AV, RV rendering go up higher for προσανάβηθι in Luk_14:10 , Field ( Notes , p. 66 f.) prefers come up higher, in order to give προσ its full force. For this meaning of approach to where the host is sitting cf. the use of the single comp d . ἀναβαίνω in Pro_25:7 , and the use of προσβαίνω in such passages as P Oxy VII. 1028 .11 (A.D. 86) τοὺς προσβαίνοντ (ας ) εἰς τοὺς (τεσσαρεσκαιδεκαετεις ), those approaching the age of 14, P Grenf II. 49 .5 (A.D. 141) Ἀνουβᾶ προσβ (άντος ) εἰς ιδ (ἔτος ) τῷ ἐνεστῶτι ε̄ (ἔτει ) Ἀντωνίνου .
