ἀγρυπνία. This word, in NT only 2 Cor 6°, 1137, is found in Sy// 803°° (iii/B.c.) οὗτος ἀγρυπνίαις συνεχόμενος διὰ τὸμ πόνον τᾶς κεφαλᾶ[ς]--α passage which also throws light on the NT usage of συνέχομαι, e.g. Mt 45 νόσοις καὶ βασάνοις συνεXopévovs. For the adverb of the primary ἄγρυπνος, see OG/S 194” (i/B.c.) ἀ[γρ]ύπνως . . . [ἐφ]ρόντισεν. ayvid. This word, very common in papyri, is claimed for NT vocabulary by an acute conjecture of Mr A. Pallis (4 few Notes on St Mark and St Matthew, based chiefly on Modern Greek, Liverpool, 1903, p. 12). In Mk 655) ἐν ἀγοραῖς appears as ἐν πλατείαις in D 565 700; and the Old Syriac, Latin and Gothic versions have ‘‘streets,”’ which is preferable in sense. Tallis suggests that ἐν ἀγυιαῖς was the original, from which bya very slight corruption came ἀγοραῖς in the Greek MSS, and by paraphrase πλατείαις in D and its fellows. In Oxyrhynchus papyri ἐν ayuid is a recurrent legal formula, describing documents drawn up ‘“‘in the street”: see Grenfell and Hunt, P Oxy IV. p. 202, and Mitteis in Mitteis-Wilcken Papyruskunde, II. i. p. 61 π΄. ayo. The spread (mostly in the compounds) of the late and vulgar sigmatic aor. act. is well seen in uneducated writers of papyri. Thus P Grenf II. 441} (A.D. 101) and BGU II. 60718 (A.D. 163) κατῆξαν, BGU I. 81% (a.p. 189) κατήξαμεν, P Ryl I. 27° (iii/a.p.) συνάξας. P Hawara 3124 (ii/A b.) (in Archiv v. p. 393) ἄξαι, P Giss I. 27° (ii/A.p.) ἄξω: cf. P Tebt I. 2215 διάξησθε (B.c. 112). Thackeray Gr. p. 233 gives LXX evidence ; Cronert A/em. Herc., p. 232 n® has pas_ sages from late papyri, together with ἄξωσιν from Herculaneum (i/A.D.). Cf. also 2 Pet 26, Ac 1457 D, and below. ayo W. G. Rutherford Mew Phrynichus, p. 217f., shows that Attic. Whether its appearance in (mostly illiterate) papyri is due to survival in dialects, especially Ionic, or to independent recoinage of a very obvious type, need not be discussed here. The importance of the form for the NT was emphasized by Moulton in Camé. Bibl. Essays, p. 485 (1909), (cf. Aznlectung, p. 84). In Lk 3}7 N*reads συνάξαι, as do all authorities in 134 (ἐπισυνάξαι), We may be quite | sure that Luke never emended the normal strong aorist into this colloquial, if not uneducated form. It was therefore in Q, and Mt 3%, 2357 represent emendations—one to the future, which appeared in the last clause of the verse (κατακαύσει), the other to the ‘‘correct” infinitive ἐπισυνayayety: the latter emendation figures in all MSS. except δ in Lk 317. The point has important results, when set among others of like nature, in the discussion of the synoptic problem: see #xfos. VII. vii. p. 413. The active perfect of &yw does not appear in NT; but we may note that ἀγήγοχα (Tobit 12%) can be quoted from OG/S 219} (iii/B.c.), 267!” (ii/B.c.). There are many varieties here : -ayéwxa P Tebt I. 5138 (B.c. 118) and Letronne 84 (i/B.c.) ; a@yeloxa (or cpd.) P Tebt I. 195 (8c. 114), P Par 1557 (B.c. 120), P Ryl II. 675 (ii/B.c.), P Oxy 11. 28314 (A.D. 45), Ρ Leid B* (ii/B.c.) ; -ayéoxa P Tebt I. 124 (c. B.c. 118). We have not attempted to make this list exhaustive. For ἄγω in the sense of ‘‘ fetch,” ‘‘carry away,’’ see P Oxy IV. 7427 (B.c. 2), where instructions are given to deposit certain bundles of reeds in a safe place ἵνα τῇ ἀναβάσει αὐτὰς ἄξωμεν. Wilcken’s proposal (2f. Witkowski Epp.*, p. 128) that ἄξωμεν should be assigned to &yvupe seems to us improbable. For the construction with pera (2 Tim 411) cf. P Petr II. 32 (22) ἄγων μεθ’ αὑτοῦ. For “bring before” a court of justice, as Mt 1048, Ac 18", cf. BGU I. 22%. (A.D. 114) (= Selections, p. 76) διὸ ἀξιῶ ἀκθῆναι τοὺς ἐνκαλουμένους ἐπὶ σὲ πρὸς δέουσ(αν) ἐπέξοδον, —a petition to the Strategus. So also P. Tebt II. 33.116 1 (c. A.D. 131) ἀξιῶ ἀχθῆναι αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σέ: the constr. with ἔπί is regular, asin NT. Note P Oxy X. 1279 (A.D. 139) μετὰ δὲ τὴν πενταετίαν οὐκ ἀχθήσομαι els τὴν μίσθωσιν “*T shall not be forced to take the lease” (Edd.). ”Ayew for ‘‘keeping,” ‘‘ holding” a special day or festival (as Tob 1115: cf. Ac 19%8 ἀγοραῖοι dyovrar—see s.v. ἀγοpatos) appears in OG/S 456!° καταγγελεῖς τῶν πρώτων ἀ(χ)θησοϊμένων ἀγώνων], ‘‘heralds of the first games that shall be held.” So with ἐ[νιαυσίας ἑ]ο[ρ]τάς in OGTIS 111*8 ; P Oxy VII. 1025} (iii/a.D.) pass. with θεωρίαι ; P Giss 1. 27° (ii/A.D.) στεφανηφορίαν ἄξω. More generally we have σχολὴν ἄγειν in P Tebt 11. 315! (ii/a.p.), and ἄγοντος τὰ κατ᾽ ἔϊτο]ς γεωργικὰ ἔργα in P Kyl II. 1549 (A.D. 66). Somewhere under this heading will come Lk 247 τρίτην ταύτην ἡμέραν ἄγει, where if the verb is not impersonal, 6 "Ingots might be supplied as subject. The intransitive ἄγειν may be seen in the meaning ‘‘ lead,” of a road or canal, as P Petr I. 22 (2); and a rather similar intransitive use occurs in an Egyptian inscr. of Augustus (Pretsigke 401, A.D. 10-1) who records that he ποταμ[ὸν] .. . ἤγαγεν... ῥέοντα Sv ὅλης τῆς πόλεως : in the Latin equivalent ffwnen... *“Ayopev (as in Jn 14*) survives in MGr ἄμε, ‘‘go’’ (Thumb). tnduxit.
