ἀπάγω [page 51] The verb is found four times in P Oxy I. 33 (late ii/A.D.), of one being led off to death, which may perhaps determine the meaning in Act_12:19 : the guards were not merely imprisoned, but led away to death (RV mg). Luk_23:26 , with the Vulgate duci and the gloss ἀποκτανθῆναι in D*, are probably decisive for this (the Attic) meaning. On the other hand, it should be noted that ἀ . is the ordinary word for arresting (cf. Gen_39:22 τοὺς ἀπηγμένους = the prisoners ) as P Petr III. 36 ( a ) verso .6 ἀδίκως ἀπηγμένον and ib. .27 ἀ ]κ̣ρ̣ι̣βείας ἕνεκεν ἀπήχθην : so P Lille 7 .13 (iii/B.C.) οὗτος δὲ ἀπήγαγέν με εἰς τὸ αὖθι δεσμωτήριον , P Petr II. 10 (2) .12 συνέταξεν ὁ ὑπηρέτης ἀπαγαγεῖν με , the apparitor gave directions to arrest me (Ed.), and OGIS 90 .14 (the Rosetta stone, B.C. 196) τοὺς ἐν ταῖς φυλακαῖς ἀπηγμένους . . . ἀπέλυσε τῶν ἐνκεκλ (η )μένων . Cf. also P Oxy II. 237 vi. 18 (A.D. 186), where Chaeremon claims the right of taking away his daughter even against her will from her husband s house ἀπάγοντι αὐτὴν ἄκουσαν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ ἀνδρὸς οἰκίας , BGU IV. 1139 .15 (B.C. 5) ἐτόλμησε . . . ἀποσ̣τ̣ερε̣ι̣̑ν ἀπαγαγεῖν τὴν θυγατέρα ἡμῶν . . . καὶ ἔχειν παρ᾽ ἑαυτῶι ἐν εἱρκ̣τ̣[ῆ ἐπὶ ] μ̣ῆ̣ν̣ας ε̄ . In the dialect inscription Syll 271 .6, .11 (ii/B.C.) it denotes apparently the capture of youths in a raid.
