Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀπαίρω [page 51]
For the intransitive sense of ἀ . = depart, as in Gen_37:17 , cf. P Petr II. 13 (5) .5 (B.C. 258 3) ἀπ [ηρμ ]ένον , on your departure. In the Paris magical papyrus 3082 Deissmann ( LAE p. 254) ingeniously proposes to substitute for the meaningless ἀφαιρων of the MS. ἀπαίρων in the sense of make to go forth (as LXX Ps 77꞉ 26, 52 [MT Psa_78:26 ; Psa_78:52 ]) ὁρκίζων δὲ φύσα ἀπὸ τῶν ἄκρων καὶ τῶν ποδῶν ἀπαίρων τὸ φύσημα ἕως τοῦ προσώπου καὶ εἰσκριθήσεται . MGr παίρνω (also παίρω ) is given as take, fetch in Thumb s Glossary : it might equally well come from ἐπαίρω , but the meaning suits ἀπαίρω better.
