Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀπορρίπτω [page 68]
In a petition regarding the division of a piece of land, P Magd 29 .10 (B.C. 218), the appellant asks that the defendant should be forced to give him a proper entrance and exit (εἴσοδον καὶ ἔξοδον ) instead of throwing him into a hidden corner ε̣ἱ̣̓ς̣ἐσώτερόν με ἀπερρίφθαι . Another petition, P Lond 106 .13 and .23 (B.C. 261 or 223) (= I. p. 61), gives us both ἐκρίπτω and ἀπορρίπτω τά τε σκεύη μου ἐξέρριψεν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν . . ., ἐγὼ δὲ τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἀποριφέντα μου εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν εἰσήνεγκα . See also Moulton in CR xx. p. 216, where the fairly accessible warrant of Act_27:43 is produced against two classical scholars who strained at ἀπορρίπτειν intrans. in Charito iii. 5 .6 .
