[in LXX: Pr 25:20, To 12:2, Wi 10:8 18:2, II Mac 12:22, IV Mac 9:7* ;]

to hurt, injure: c. acc., Mk 16:[18], Lk 4:35.†

βλάπτω. For personal injury we may note such passages as P ΤΣ I. 26 (A.D. 99) ὀφθαλμὸν δεξιὸν βεβλαμμένος, P Grenf ἐπ 555 (cz Bs ΟΣ ΔΘΖὴ ἐβλαμμένος ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀμφοτέρους, P te i, ἴα (A.D. 223-5) τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐβλάβην (-- Τ|1. 382), also perhaps 7. III. 3027 (A.D. 151) βεβλαμμίένος)] It is curious that it should be thus specialised for injury to the eyes. The verb is common for “damage” Thus P Petr III. 268 ἀποτεισάτω ὁ κύριος τῶι βλαφθέντι τὸ βλάβος ὃ ἂν καταβλάψηι, ‘the owner shall pay to the injured person the amount of damage done,” BGU IV. 105778 (a.p. 13) (= Chrest. Il. p. 401) ἐκτίνίειν) αὐτοὺς ὃ ἐὰν πραχθῇ ἢ βλαβῇ, P Oxy II. 2861: (a.p. 82), ἐκτείσειν ὃ ἐὰν πραχθῶμεν ἢ βλαβῶμεν τούτων χάριν, “paying us in full any loss or damage which we might incur in connexion with the transaction” (Edd.), 7. I. 448 (late i/A.D.) ὡς ἱκανὰ βλαπτομένων, ‘on the plea that they had incurred sufficient loss already” (Edd.). More* general. sense appears in P Flor 11. 1511} (a.p. 267) μὴ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς στρατιώτης ἀποσταλῇ, καὶ ἄλλως ἐφόδιον βλαβῶσιν, ‘lose their wages” (0). It describes the material damage done by a riot in CP Herm I. 119 vectoV-14 (A.D. 260-8), ἀφ᾽ ὧν οὐδὲν περ[ιγίνετ]αι τῷ πολιτικῷ λόγῳ διὰ τὸ ἐξ ὁλοκλήρου βεβλάφθαι ἐν τοῖς πρόσϑεν συμβεβηκόσι κατὰ τὴϊν πόΪϊλειν ἀπευκταίοις τα[ρ]άχοις. in a legal sense.
