ἀπό, [fr. Hom. down], preposition with the Genitive, (Lat. a, ab, abs, Germ. von, ab, weg, [ef. Eng. of, off ]), Jrom, signifying now Separation, now Origin. On its use in the N. T., in which the influence of the Hebr. 1 is traceable, cf. W. 364 sy. (342), 369 (346) sqq.; B. 321 (276) sqq. [On the neglect of elision before words beginning with a vowel see Τὰ Proleg. p. 94; cf. W. § 5,1a.; B. p.10sq.; WH. App. p. 146.] In order to avoid repetition we forbear to cite all the examples, but refer the reader to the several verbs followed by this preposition. ἀπό, then, is used I. of Separation; and 1. of local separation, after verbs of motion fr. a place, (of departing, fleeing, removing, expelling, throwing, etc., see αἴρω, ἀπέρχομαι, ἀποτινάσσω, ἀποχωρέω, ἀφίστημι, φεύγω. etc.) : ἀπεσπάσθη ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν, Lk. xxii.41; βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ. Mt. ν. 29 sq.3 ἐκβάλω τὸ κάρφος ἀπὸ [LT Tr WH ἐκ] τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ, Mt. vii. 4: ἀφ᾽ [L WH τ tat. παρ᾽ (q. v. 1. 8.}} ἧς ἐκβεβλήκει δαιμόνια, Mk. xvi. 9; καθεῖλε ἀπὸ θρόνων, Lk.i.52. 2. of the separation of apart from the whole; where of a whole some part is taken: ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱματίου, Mt. ix. 16;

ἀπό apo 646x

pr. forth, from, away from; hence, it variously signifies departure; distance of time or place; avoidance; riddance; derivation from a quarter, source, or material; origination from agency or instrumentality

ἀπό (on the freq. neglect of elision bef. vowels, v. Tdf., Pr., 94, WH, App., 146), prep. c. gen. (WM, 462 ff.; on its relation to ἐκ, παρά, ὑπό, WM, 456 f.),

In composition, ἀπό denotes separation, departure, origin, etc. (ἀπολύω, ἀπέρχομαι, ἀπογράφω); it also has a perfective force (M, Pr., 112, 247), as in ἀφικνεῖσθαι, ἀφικνεῖσθαι, q.v.

ἀπό. In this and the other prepositions cf very wide and general use we have not pretended to any fullness: they would afford abundant material for a fair-sized treatise. We only notice such special uses as we have remarked in our reading, and have therefore passed over most of the common and obvious uses. On ἀπό there are some illustrations in Prodeg. which may be recalled with some additions. There is the partitive use (pp. 102, 245), still current in MGr: so P Petr III. 11%° (B.c. 234) ddeloO[w] ἀπὸ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων μοι [σ]ωμάτων [ἐλ]εύθερα A. kal’A., 2d. 11. τα (1)> (= Selections p- 7) (iii/B.c.) ἀπὸ τούτου τὸ μὲν ἥμυσυ . . . τὸ δὲ λοιπόν κτλ. P Tebt II. 209013 (c. a.D. 50) ἀπολυσίμ[ο]υ ἀπὸ av8[pav πεντή]κοντα ‘one of the 50 exempted persons” (Edd.), P Iand 8° (ii/A.p.) διεπεμψάμην cor. . ἀϊπὸ τοῦ οἸΐνου Κ νίδια τρία, etc. To Kuhring’s scanty exx. (p. 37) for ἀπό of agent (cf. Proleg. pp. 102, 246) add Syi/ 6558 (A.v. 83) συντετηρημένα ἀπὸ βασιλέων Kal Σεβαστῶν, P Lond 117312 (A.D. 125) (=TIII. p. 208) ἕως πεισθῇς ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, P Flor IT. 150° (A.D. 267) ἀ, τῶν μυῶν κατεσθιόμενα, BGU IV. 118576 (Augustus or earlier) μηδὲ κατακαλεῖσθαι ἀπὸ μηδεν(ός). It is universal in MGr, but its very limited use in papyri and NT suggests that in the Hellenistic period it >. ’ avo had only local currency. Various uses under the general heading of source are collected in Kuhring p. 35 f.: add the remarkable BGU IV. 107975 (A.D. 41) (= Selections Ὁ. 40) ὡς ἂν πάντες καὶ σὺ βλέπε σατὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων “like everybody else, you too must beware of the Jews.” The familiar NT idiom (Mk 81:5 a/) may be translation Greek still, but it is evidently possible enough in vernacular untouched by Semitic influence. Kuhring’s instances cover the categories of cause, authorship, recetpt, inheritance, but not 2zzstrvwment: there are numerous exx. of καθαρὸς ἀπό and the like (once regarded as Semitism!). Sometimes the καθαρός is dropped, and ἀπό is practically =dvev: see Kuhring p. 53 f., and add P Lips I. 16!® (a.p. 138) πα[ρ]αδίώσω colt σὺν ταῖς ἐφαιστώσαις θ[ύραις) κ[αὶ] κλεισὶ καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης ἀκαθαρσίας : on P Fay 345 the edd. note ‘‘cf. CPR 3551, BGU I. 305}, etc., where these phrases occur without καθαρός." Not that καθαρός is really to be supplied: the frivatzve ἀπό, as Kuhring calls it, is quite naturally developed. Cf. P Tebt II. 4204 (iii/A.p.) ἀπὸ ζημίας ““ blameless.” In P Oxy VIII. 11038 (A.D. 360) a certain Eutrygius is called ἀπὸ λογιστῶν “ex-logistes” : Prof. Hunt notes ‘On the titular use of ex and ἀπό see Mommsen Zphem. Epigr. v. p. 128-9, and cf. e.g. 1334 ἀπὸ ὑπάτων [A.D. 550], 8932 ἀπὸ μειζόνων [vi/vii A.D.], P [Lond] 233° [=II. p. 273---αἰ Ὁ. 345] ἀπὸ ἐπάρχων, P Flor I. 71 passim [iv/a.p.].” On its relations with ἐκ, παρά and ὑπό see Proleg. p. 237: add Prezsivke 997 and 998, two προσκυνήματα from the same place, dated respectively A.D. 4 and A.D. 16-7, with ὑπὸ χειμῶνος ἐλασθείς in the first and ἀπὸ χιμῶνος ἐλασθείς in the other. We may further note the idiomatic use of ἀπό in Mk γέ dm ἀγορᾶς, 15° an’ ἀγροῦ, *‘fresh from market,” ‘‘ from field-work,” which is well illustrated by such phraseology as that in Sy// 567 (ii/A.D.), a tariff prescribing the number of days of ceremonial impurity following certain acts, described as τὰ ἐκτός : thus ἀπὸ τυροῦ ἡμέ(ρας) a, ἀπὸ φθορείων ἡμείρῶν) ji, ἀπὸ κήδους [οἰκἸείου ἡμείρῶν) p, ἀπὸ συνουσίας νομίμου they may enter the shrine the same day after washing and anointing. Cf. Deissmann 4S p. 227. Among phrases with ἀπό we may note one in P Ryl IL. 1575} (A.p. 135) εἰ χρεία γείνοιτο [ποτίσαι é]v ἀναβάσει [7.v.] ἀπὸ ποδὸς τὴν αὐτὴν νοτίνην μερίδα, “*if need arises at the inundation to water the same southern portion by foot.” It seems clear that this refers to the same method of irrigation which appears in Deut 1119 (LXX ὅταν σπείρωσιν τὸν σπόρον καὶ ποτίζωσιν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ κῆπον Aaxavias): see Driver zz doc. The editors in their note citea papyrus with ἀπὸ ποδὸς ποτισ[μ]οῦ. In ἁλιεῖς ἀπὸ ποδός (BGU I. 220, 221, III. 756) the sense is different, perhaps ‘‘ from the bank ” (lit. ‘fon foot’). In P Rein 184 (B.c. 108) we note μέχρι [ἂν ἀπὸ] τοῦ σπόρου γένηται “until he has finished his sowing.” For ἀπό denoting matter or material, as Mt 3%, cf. Priene 1177 (i/B.C.) στεφανῶσα[ι -.. στεφ]άνῳ χρυσέων ἀπὸ χρυσοῦ. The phrase ἀπὸ μέρους may be provisionally illustrated by P Ryl II. 13317 (A.D. 33) αὐθάδως κατέσπασεν ἀπὸ μέρους “ ventured to pull it partly down” : see further under μέρος. On am’ αἰῶνος we gave some parallels under αἱών : add Predsigke 176% (A.D. 161-80) πρώτου τῶν ἀπ᾽ αἰῶνος. ᾿Απὸ τοῦ νῦν is illustrated by Deissmann ZS p. 253, and ἀπὸ τοῦ βελτίστου 20. 93: add P Tebt I. 589 (B.c. 118), 11. 2828 (late ii/B.c.), P Fay 12° (B.C. 103). See further Pro/eg. p. 9 for Rey 14, on which 5 ΄ ἀπογραφὴ more may [56 5414 underelwf. Rossberg’s dissertation systematically illustrates papyrus usages of ἀπό, as far as its date (1908) allows: it ought perhaps to be observed that the extracts are not always correctly transcribed. There is an elaborate dissertation on later uses of ἀπό in composition by K. Dieterich in 7rd. Forsch. xxiv. pp. 87-158, on which cf. Frankel, Wochenschr. f. klass. Philol., 1909, p- 369 ff.
