Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀγωγή. The figurative sense of ἀγωγή, as in 2 Tim. 319, may be paralleled from P Par 611] f (B.C. 156) πάντα ἐστὶν ἀλλότρια τῆς τε ἡμῶν ἀγωγῆς, P Tebt I. 2457 (B.c. 117) μ[ο]χθηρὰν ἀγωγήν. Cf. OGIS 223} (iii/B.c.) φαίνεσθε γὰρ καθόλου ἀγωγῆι ταύτῃ χρῆσθαι, and 72. 474° (i/A.p.) διὰ [τὴν κοσμιωτάτην αὐτῆς] ἀγωγήν with Dittenberger’s note. ἃ good example is also afforded by 77αρε 164° (i/ii A.D.) ἤθει Kal ἀγωγῇ κόσμιον. As action-noun to ἄγειν, it means *freightage” in Sy// 58717 (B.c. 329-8, Attic) τῆς τομῆς τῶν λίθων καὶ τῆς ἀγωγῆς Kal τῆς θέσεως. Hence “ load,” “freight,” cf Wilcken Os¢r. ii. 707 (Ptol.) ἀχύρου ἀγω(γὴν) ἕνα (sic), ὁ. 1168 εἰς τὰς Kapelvous ἀγω(γαί) (sc. ἀχύρου) : so P Oxy IX. 119710 (a.p. 211), P Lond ττό4(1)7 and 34 (A.D. 212) (=III. p. 164 f.). ᾿Αγωγὴν ποιεῖσθαι = ** carry off,” ‘‘arrest,”’ is found in P Tebt I. 39% (B.c. 114) and 70. 4851. (c. B.C. 113), and in P Fay 12% (c. B.c. 103) the substantive occurs in the sense of ‘‘abduction.” For a. as a legal term see P Lond gs514 (A Ὁ. 249) (=III. p. 221) ὁμολογῶ μηδεμίαν ἀγωγὴν ἔχειν κατὰ μηδένα τρ[όπ]ον πρός oe, and cf. “«γελήν iv. p. 466.
