συνίστημι (~συνιστάω ) [page 608] συνίστημι is very common in the papyri, and is used with a great variety of meanings. We can notice only the principal ones, and those most nearly related to the NT occurrences of the word. (1) From its original meaning set together, combine, συνίστημι passes into the sense of bring together as friends, introduce, recommend, as in P Petr II. 11(1) .5 (iii/B.C.) (= Selections , p. 7) πέπεισμαι ῥαιδίως με τῶι βασιλεῖ συσταθήσεσθαι , I am sure that I shall easily be introduced to the King, P Oxy IV. 787 (A.D. 16) ἐρωτῶ σε οὖν ἔχειν συνεσταμένον , I ask you therefore to hold him as recommended, ib . II. 292 .6 (A.D. 25) παρακαλῶ σε μετὰ πάσης δυνάμεως ἔχειν αὐτὸν συνεσταμένον : cf. Rom_16:1 , 2Co_3:1 , al . (2) The meaning appoint, as a technical legal term, is seen in such passages as P Oxy II. 261 .13 (B.C. 55) where a woman states that she has appointed her grandson to act as her representative in a lawsuit συνεστακέναι αὐτὴν τὸν προγεγραμμένον υἱωνὸν Χα [ιρ ]ήμονα ἔγδικον , ib . I. 97 .21 (B.C. 115 6) συνέστησα τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἐμοῦ Νικάνορα ἐπὶ πασει ( l . πᾶσι ) τοῖς προκειμένοις , and P Giss I. 25 .9 (ii/A.D.) συνέστησα γὰρ αὐτὸν διὰ τό σε τότε καταπεπλευκέναι . With this may be compared ὁ συνεσταμένος = the nominee in P Oxy II. 320 (A.D. 59) Σεκ̣ο̣υ̣ν̣δ̣ο̣υ̣ τοῦ συνεσταμένου ὑπὸ τῶν μετόχων ἀγο (ρανόμων ), and 330 (A.D. 78 83). See also P Tebt I. 27 .35 (B.C. 113) ἐπὶ τοῦ συσταθέντος πρὸς σὲ διαλογισμοῦ , at the inquiry instituted against you (Edd.), P Amh II. 33 .6 ( c . B.C. 157) σ ]υνεστηκυίας ἡμῖν καταστάσεως ἐπὶ [Ζω ]πύρου τοῦ ἐπι [μ ]ελητοῦ , a trial has been arranged before Zopyrus the epimeletes, and P Lond 1912 .71 (A.D. 41) εἴ ται καὶ συνείστασθαι τὴν ἀρχὴν δεῖ , whether the order should be constituted (Ed.). (3) From this it is a natural transition to establish, prove, as in Rom_3:5 al ., cf. BGU IV. 1062 .17 (A.D. 236 7) ἔτι δὲ καὶ συστήσασθαι τοὺς ταύτης λόγους . (4) For the intrans. use stand with (by), as in Luk_9:32 , cf. the legal phrase μετὰ συνεστῶτος or συνεστώτων , of a person or persons acting with or standing by another, in such passages as P Oxy VI. 912 .4 (A.D. 235) ἐμίσθωσεν Αὐρηλία Βησοῦς . . . μετὰ συνεστῶτος Αὐρηλίου Θέωνος . . . Αὐρηλίῳ Πατύτι . . ., Aurelia Besous, acting with Aurelius Theon, has leased to Aurelius Patus . . ., and P Ryl II. 165 .6 (A.D. 266), with the editors notes. Also P Oxy X. 1273 .49 (A.D. 260) Αὐρήλιος Θέων ὁ καὶ Νεπωτιανὸς συνέστην αὐτῇ καὶ ἔγραψα ὑπὲρ αὐ [τ ]ῆς μὴ εἰδυίης γράμματα , and P Lond 978 .20 (A.D. 331) (= III. p. 234) συνέστην τῇ συμβίᾳ μου . The verb is also intransitive in such passages as PSI II. 173 .12 (ii/B.C.) τοῦ οὖν καιροῦ τῆς τῶν γενημάτων συναγωγῆς συνεστηκότος , BGU IV. 1102 .9 (deed of divorce B.C. 13) τῆς συστ [ά ]σης αὐτοῖς συνβιώσεως , and P Oxy III. 653 .19 (A.D. 162 3) συνέστηκ [ε ]ν ὡς ἔκρινεν ὁ χιλίαρχο [ς , the matter stood as the chiliarch decided. (5) For the meaning hold together, cohere in Col_1:17 Lightfoot ad l . cites Philo Quis rer. div. her . 58 ed. Wendland (= I. p. 481) συνέστηκε καὶ ζωπυρεῖται προνοίᾳ θεοῦ , Clem. Rom. 27 ἐν λόγῳ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης αὐτοῦ συνεστήσατο τὰ πάντα , and for the meaning consist in 2Pe_3:5 see Field Notes , p. 242. (6) Miscellaneous exx. of the verb are P Amh II. 31 .7 (B.C. 112) ἐπὶ τῆς συσταθείσης πρακτορείας ἐν τοῖς Μεμνονείοις , of agents engaged upon exacting payment in the Memnonia (Edd.), P Ryl II. 69 .12 (B.C. 34) συνέστησεν ἐπιδιδό (ναι ) τὸ ὑπόμνημα , obliged us to present this petition (Edd.), P Oxy IX. 1188 .11 (A.D. 13) ὡς πρὸς ὑμᾶ (ς ) τοῦ περὶ τ (ῶν ) ἀγνοη (θέντων ) λόγ (ου ) συστα (θησομένου ), knowing that you will be held accountable in any inquiry concerning facts that remain unknown (Ed.), BGU I. 22 .15 (A.D. 114) (= Selections , p. 75) ἄλογόν μοι ἀηδίαν συνεστήσατο , picked a senseless quarrel with me, so P Lond 342 .6 (A.D. 185) (= II. p. 174), and P Tebt II. 276 .23 (ii/iii A.D.) τ [ὸ ]ν βίον συστήσεται , will gain his living. For the subst. συστάτης = delegate, see P Oxy VIII. 1116 .5 (A.D. 363), with the editor s note. For the double comp d . ἀποσυνίστημι , cf. P Hamb I. 27 .1 (B.C. 250) ἔγραψάς μοι περὶ Πτολεμαίου . ., ὅτι ἐμοὶ αὐτὸν ἀποσυστήσαις , you write me regarding Ptolemaeus, that you recommend him to me.
