Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀποβαίνω [page 59]
For the metaphorical sense (as in Luk_21:13 , Php_1:19 ) cf. P Petr III. 42 H (8) f .5 (iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 15) νυνὶ [δὲ ἐν φόβωι ε ]ἰ̣μὶ οὐ μετρίωι , πῶ [ς ] τε σοὶ ἀποβήσεται καὶ ἡμῖν . Syll 406 .10 (A.D. 147 a reply of M. Aurelius to an address of congratulation on the birth of a son who had died after it was sent) εὔνοια ὑμῶν , ἣν ἐνεδείξασθε συνησθέντες μοι γεννηθέντος υἱοῦ , εἰ καὶ ἑτέρως τοῦτο ἀπέβη , οὐδὲν ἧττον φανερὰ ἐγένετο . The literal sense may be illustrated by the use of the verb, with its nouns ἀπόβασις and ἀποβατικόν , to denote a kind of chariot race in which one of two men in a car had to jump off : see Syll 670 (i/ii A.D.) and notes. Schlageter (p. 59) quotes ἀπόβασις from a Delos inscr. in BCH xiv. p. 399 .115 (B.C. 279), where it means place of exit, the classical meaning having been landing.
