Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀπορρίπτω. In a petition regarding the division of a piece of land, P Magd 29 (p.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—els ἐσώτερόν pe ἀπερρίφθαι. Another petition, P Lond 106! and 58 (p.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 CA xx. p. 216, where the fairly accessible warrant of Ac 27* is produced against two classical scholars who strained at ἀπορρίπτειν intrans. in Charito iii. 5°.
