Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὑπέχω [page 654] The metaph. usage undergo, suffer, of this verb in Jud_1:7 , its only NT occurrence, can be readily illustrated from the common phrase τὸ δίκαιον ὑπέχειν , e.g. P Hal I. 1 .163 (mid. iii/B.C.) λα [μ ]βαν [έτ ]ωσαν τὸ δ [ί ]καιον [κ ]αὶ ὑπεχέτω [σ ]αν , P Petr II. 12 (3) .16 (B.C. 241) ἐπαναγκάσαι αὐτὸν τὸ δίκαιον ἡμῖν ὑποσχεῖν , to force him to do us justice, and P Tebt I. 5 .213 (B.C. 118) ὑπέχειν καὶ λαμβάνειν τὸ δίκαιον ἐπὶ τῶν χρηματιστῶν , to give and receive satisfaction before the chrematistae : cf. P Fay 21 .25 (A.D. 134) ὅπ ]ως τῆς ἀποθίας ἐκῖνοι τὴν προσήκουσαν δίκη [ν ὑ ]πόσχωσι , so that the creditors may pay the fitting penalty for their disobedience (Edd.).See also BGU IV.1022 .24 (A.D. 196) λόγον αὐτὸν ὑποσχεῖν τῶν τετολμημένων , and P Oxy VIII. 1119 .21 (A.D. 254) εἵνα . . . λόγον ὑπόσχῃ τ [ῆ ]ς τε τῶν θείων νόμων καὶ τῶν ἡγεμο [ν ]ικῶν κρίσεων [ὕβρεως , that he may render an account for his outrageupon the Imperial laws and the judgements of praefects (Ed.). According to Mayser Gr. II. i. p. 98 ὑπέχομαι is first found with the meaning offer, make a tender, in Roman times, e.g. P Giss I. 6 i. 8 (A.D. 117) ἐπεὶ οὖν τοσοῦτο τέλεσ̣μ̣[α ] οὐ β̣α̣[σ ]τ̣[άζουσι ] . . . [ὑπ ]έχομαι κατὰ τὴν ε̣ὐεργεσίαν̣ του̣ͅ κυ̣[ρ ]ίο̣υ̣ Ἁδριανοῦ Καίσαρος γεωργήσειν̣ τὰς̣ π̣ροκιμένας (ἀρούρας ), cf. ii. 11, iii. 9 .
