Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀποβάλλω. νὼ 32430 (i/B.c.) τῆς πόλεως ἀποβεβλημένη[ς] ἀγαθὸν [πολείτην. The words τὰ ἀποβάλλοντα are used as a designation for certain δημόσια ἐδάφη in P Flor 1. 20" (A.D. 127) (= Chrest. I. p. 422), but the reason for the designation is by no means clear: see the note by Vitelli, who favours a sense = ‘‘ fruitful,” and compares the somewhat similar usage in P Gen I. 62° (ii/A.D.) μήτε ἐκ τ[οῦ] κεφαλαίου τι αὐτοὺς [ἀ]ποβεβληκέναι. P Ryl I. 25% (iv/ A.D.) tells us that one kind of ‘‘quivering” means that πολλὰ ἀποβάλλει ὁ τοιοῦτος, and in * one whose left shin quivers ἀποβαλεῖν πρόσωπον ὑποτακτικόν, ‘will lose a subordinate person.” PSI 32!7 (A.D. 208) μὴ ἐξεῖναι δὲ ἡμεῖν ἀποβαλέσθαι σε τῆ[ς μι]σθώσεως.
