τιμωρέω. For the usage of this verb ‘‘avenge oneself on,”’ ‘* punish,”’ as in Ac 225, 2611, cf. P Oxy I. 341-4 (a.D. 127) τοὺς mapaβάντας καὶ τοὺ[ς] διὰ ἀπειθίαν κ[αὶ] ὡς ἀφορμὴν ζητοῦντας ἁμαρτημάτων] τειμωρήσομαι, ‘any persons who violate it, whether from mere disobedience or to serve their own nefarious purposes, will receive condign punishment ” (Edd.), and Sy// 326 (=% 709) (c. B.C. 107) τοὺς δὲ αἰτίους τῆς ἐπαναστάσεο[ς] τιμωρησάμενος. In P Ryl IL. 6210 (iii/a.D.), a translation from an unknown Latin author, we have—dyputrveirat kal κολάζεται [καὶ τι]μωρεῖται kal παρηγορεῖται. The adj. from which the verb is derived may be quoted from Sy// 810 (=%1176)? εἰ δέ τι ἑκὼν ἐξαμ[αρτήσει], οὐκ ἐμὸν ἐπαράϊσασθαι], δίκη δὲ ἐπικρέματα[ί σοι] τιμωρὸς ἀπελθόν[τι] ἀπειθὴς Νεμέσεως}. ‘the inexorable avenging justice of Nemesis.”’
