ἀποφέρω. P Par 4933:.- (B.c. 164-58) (= Witkowski?, p. 71) διὰ τὸ εἰς τὴν πόλιν pe θέλειν δοῦναι ἀπενεγκεῖν. The verb (= Selections, p. 102 1.), e.g. καλῶς ἐποίησες οὐκ ἀπένηχές (2. ἀπήνεγκες) pe pet ἐσοῦ εἰς πόλιν, “So kind of you not to have taken me off with you to town!” For the verb with the added idea of violence, as Mk 151, see P Oxy I. 37438 (a.p. 49) (= Selections, p. 50) βούλεται ὀν[ό]ματι ἐλευθέρου τὸ σωμάτιον ἀπενέγκασθαι, ‘she wishes to (defend herself on the ground) that the foundling was carried off in virtue of its being freeborn,” BGU I. 227°" (a.v, 114) (= Selections, p. 76) ἀνέβη εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν μου, ἀπενέγκατο οἰχό(μενοΞ) κίμενον ζεῦγος WeAAlw(v) ἀργυρῶν, ‘he went up into my house, and carried off with him a pair of silver bracelets that were lying there”: cf. also P Magd 1° (B.c. 221) κατέσπειραν (τὸν κλῆρον) σησάμωι καὶ σίτωι Kal ἀπενηνεγμένοι εἰσὶν παρὰ πάντα δίκαια. (The editor would read τὰ δίκαια.) Similarly P Ryl 11. 151} (A.D. 66) κατασπείροντας Kal ἀποφέροντας τὰ περιεσύμεν[α] ἐκ TLovTH]y, and P Leid Bii-17 (ii/p.c.), where two persons are reported to have carried some oil off for their own use (ἀπενηνεγμένοι εἰσίν), BGU IV. 10607 (B.c. 14), a/. Theactive seems to be used in the same sense in CPHerm 910, but the context is fragmentary. For the subst. see P Tebt IT. 4248 (late iii/a.D.) ἴσθι δὲ ὅτι ὀφίλις φόρους καὶ ἀποφορὰς ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν, “let me tell you that you owe seven years’ rents and dues.” (Edd.)
