Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The old meaning ";reverti"; may be seen in P Tebt I. 25.16 (B.C. 117) ἀνεστραμμέν ̣ω ̣ς δαινεκθέντες (l. διενεχ -), ";perversely."; Deissmann (BS pp. 88, 194) has shown that for the meaning ";behave,"; which Grimm compared with the moral signification of הָלַךְ ";walk,"; it is unnecessary to postulate Semitic influence. As his examples are all from Pergamon, we may add others to show that it was no local peculiarity. OGIS 48.9 (iii/B.C.) ὁρῶντές τινας τῶν πολιτῶν [μ ]ὴ ὀρθῶς ἀνα [στρ ]ε [φ ]ομένους καὶ θόρυβον οὐ τὸν τυχόντα παρ [έχ ]οντας is from Egypt, and Syll 521.95 (B.C. 100) τοῖς καλῶς καὶ εὐσεβῶς ἀναστραφεῖσιν is from Athens. In JBL xxvii. ii. p. 136 Hatch cites the following instances from the Proceedings of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, iii. 73 (Dulgerler, ancient Artanada, in Cilicia, Imperial period) ἁγνῶς ἀναστραφέντα, iii. 423 (Kara Baulo in Pisidia, probaby Imperial) ἀναστραφέντας. . . μεγαλοπρεπῶς καὶ εὐσχημόνως. Cf. also Priene 108.223 (after B.C. 129) τῆι πόλε (ι) συμφερόντως ἀνεστράφη, ib. 115.5 (i/B.C.) ἀναστρεφόμενος ἐν πᾶσιν φι ̣λ ̣[ανθρώπως ]. P Amh II. 131.11 (early ii/A.D.) has ἀ. περί in the sense ";attend to"; : cf. P Gen I. 6.8 (A.D. 146), ἀνασ ̣τ ̣ρ [α ]φέντος μου πε [ρὶ ] τὴν τούτων ἀπαίτησιν. P Fay 12.7 (c. B.C. 103) τῶν. . . οὐ ἀπὸ τοῦ β ̣ελ ̣τ ̣[ί ]στου ἀναστρεφομένων, ";being of the less reputable class"; (Edd.). In P Oxy II. 237vii. 23 (A.D. 186) μετα ̣παθῶς ἀναστρ ̣α ̣φ [έν ]τα is translated ";being sympathetically disposed,"; ib. VI. 907.17 (A.D. 276) πρεπόντως περὶ τὴν συμβίωσιν ἀναστραφείσῃ is ";who has conducted herself becomingly in our married life"; (Edd.), and ib. I. 71ii. 12 (A.D. 303) μὴ ὀρθῶς ἀναστραφέντες is ";behaved dishonestly,"; P Lond 358.12 (c. A.D. 150) (= II. p. 172) αὐθάδως ἀναστραφέντων. Instances can be multiplied. Vettius Valens (see Kroll’s Index) has the verb in this sense in the active, as well as in the middle.
