βίαιος ἀνοίξῃ τὴν καμάραν, 7.41.5 xxxiv. p. iff. (inserr. from Lycia), | no. 43° ὁ βιασάμενος of one who has forcibly entered a tomb (cf. 45° et δέ τις ἐκβιάσηται). (From literature may be | added Demosthenes Ca//ic/. 17 (p. 1276) κἂν βιάσηταί ποτε, ἀποφράττειν ἅπαντες καὶ παροικοδομεῖν εἰώθαμεν, ** when it [the flood water] forces its way.”) So in the papyri P Magd 117 (B.c, 221) περὶ δὲ τοῦ βεβιασμένους [αὐ]τοὺς κατεσπαρκέναι, ‘quant a la contrainte impos¢e par eux pour les semailles” (Edd.), P Tebt I. 6%! (B.c. 140-39) τινὰς δὲ καὶ βιαζομέν[ου]ς, “‘some who even take forcible possession” (Edd.), P Flor IIT. 382°4 (a.p. 222-3) ἐπὶ οὖν ὁ πραγματιKos ἐπὶ τῶν τόπων εἰσχύει βιάσασθαι, and PSI 11. 120°° (2 iv/A.p.) εὐμετάβολος γὰρ ὁ θεός. πεῖσαι ζήτει, μὴ βιάσασθαι -ὁ μὲν γὰρ βιασάμενος ἐχθρός, ὁ δὲ πείσας σοφός. This last, however, implies an object. 1). 5. Sharp, Epictetus and the NT, p. 67, cites a good parallel from pict. iv. 7. 20 f.: ἀποκλεισμὸς ἐμοὶ οὐ γίνεται, ἀλλὰ Tots βιαζομένοις. διὰ τί οὖν οὐ βιάζομαι ; ‘those who (try to) force their way in,” as he rightly renders. This meaning of forcible entry is more precisely expressed with εἰς, or by the compound, as is seen from Grimm’s illustrations of Lk Zc., and by P Tor I. 1%? (B.c. 116) (= Chrest. II. p. 39) εἴπαμεν τῶι μὲν “Hpplar μὴ εἰσβιάζεσθαι, τοῖς δὲ περὶ τὸν ὯΩρον κρατεῖν, P Leid 615 (i/B.c.) μη[θ]ενὶ ἐξεῖναι εἰσβιάἵεσθαι εἰς αὐτ[ή]ν, BGU III. 10041" (iii/B.c.) ἀφ᾽ οὗ χρόνου εἰσβεβίασται. It is at least clear that Luke’s Logion can be naturally rendered ‘‘ everyone is entering it violently.” It may be added that B. in the middle may be followed by an infin. Thus in Arrian’s account of AlexSimilarly in P Ryl ander’s death we find βιάσασθαι ἰδεῖν. I. 2411 (Homeric scholia—i/a.D.) ἐϊὰν τὰ ἑαυτοῦ [ἀπολιπὼν] ἅρματα. .. [ἐφ᾽ ἑτέρων ἐπι]βῆναι βιάζη[ται. With the transitive exx. above will go the acc. e¢ zmf. constr. in Michel 1010** (i/B.c. Zit.) βιασαμένων δὲ αὐτὸν τῶν τεχνιτῶν πάλιν τὸ τέταρτον ὑπομεῖναι ἐπιμελητήν.
