Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀποπίπτω. This word, which in the NT is found only once (Ac 918) in its literal meaning of ‘‘ fall off,” occurs in a derived sense in P Par 4737 (c. B.C. 153) (= Witkowski? p. 90, Se/ections p. 23) ἰ καὶ αὑτοὺς δεδώκαμεν kal ἀποπεπτώκαμεν “(one can never again hold up one’s head in Tricomia for very shame), if we have both given ourselves up and collapsed.” Witkowski compares Polyb. i. 871 πίπτω ταῖς ἐλπίσιν. The verb also occurs in the philosophical fragment P Flor II. T131i 19 (ji/A.D.) ἀποπείπτειν τὰ ὦϊτα Kal αὐ]τὰς axpelous γενέσϑαι : cf. Archiv vi. p. 239.
