ὑπο-τίθημι

ὑποτίθημι. We are primarily concerned with this verb only in so far as we can throw light upon its usage in the NT. In this connexion it is interesting to notice that Field’s statement (Notes, p. 208f.) that in 1 Tim 45 ὑποτίθεσθαι “does not appear to contain the idea of veminding a person of something that he knew before, but simply of suggesting or ad. , υποτρέχω vising” may be supported by a private letter of i/ii A-D., BGU VI. 1301) γινώσκων ὅτι els πᾶν σοι συνκ[ατα]βήσομαι ἐὰν ὑποτιθέίνα]ι βούληι ἑκόντι ὡς ἄλλως . .. The difficult phrase in Rom 164 τὸν ἑαυτῶν τράχηλον ὑπέθηκαν, ‘laid down their own necks”’ in the sense of ‘risked their own lives’’ is confirmed by Deissmann (Z4£Z?, p. 117f.) from a Herculaneum papyrus (after B.C. 150), where, however, παραβάλλω takes the place of ὑποτίθημι-ὑπὲρ Ὁ] τοῦ μάλιστ᾽ ἀγαπωμένου τῶν ἀναγκαίων ἢ τῶν φίλων παραβάλοι ἂν ἑτοίμως τὸν τράχηλον, ‘for (Ὁ) the most beloved of his relatives or friends he would readily stake his neck.” For the legal usage ‘‘mortgage” it is sufficient to cite P Petr II. 46(4)5 (B.c. 200) ὑποτίθημι τὴν ὑπάρχουσάν μοι οἰκίαν, P Oxy III. 49419 (a Will—a.v. 156) γυναικὶ. . . ἐξέστω δι αὐτῆς πωλεῖν καὶ ὑποτίθεσθαι ἃ ἐὰν αἱρῆται, ‘*my wife shall have the right to sell and mortgage on her own authority anything she chooses” (Edd.), and P Ryl II. 16228 (A.D. 159) πωλοῦσα Kal ὑποτιθροῦσα (for form cf. Deissmann BS, p. 193) Kal μετα]διδοῦσα, ‘having the power of sale, mortgage, gift.” In P Oxy X. 1269%° (list of property—early ii/A.D.) we hear of κιτῶνα ὑποτεθειμένον Τνεφερσόιτι πρὸς δραχμὰς ὀκτώ, ““« tunic pledged to Tnephersoitis for eight drachmas” (Edd.). See P Cairo Zen III. 593619 (B.c. 242) τὸν δὲ (χιλιάρουρον) ὑποτιθέμεθα ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλαττον (Spaxpas) A, ‘ we assess at the reduced sum of 1000 drachmae”’ (Ed.). also
