τίλλω may be freely translated ";prepare"; in P Petr II. 32 (1).9 (= III. 36 (d).9) (Ptol.) κώιδι < . . >α τίλλοντες, ";preparing"; hides by plucking the hairs from them : cf. the late P Oxy XVI. 1846.1 (vi/vii A.D.) θελήσῃ ἡ σῆ γνησία ἀδελφότης τὸ ἁλιευτικὸν ὃ λέγει τὼ τετιλμ ̣ε ̣(νον) (?) [κ ]α ̣θοσιωμέ (νως ?) παρασκευάσαι φιλοκαληθῆναι; ";will your true brother-liness kindly have the damaged fishing-vessel which you speak of repaired?"; (Edd.).
For the ordinary meaning ";pluck,"; ";pull,"; as in Matthew 12:1 al., see P Flor III. 321.47 (iii/A.D.) τίλλαντες χόρτον τοῖς κτῆσι (l. κτήνεσι), and ib. 322.20 (A.D. 258?) τίλλοντες χόρτον (ἀρούρας) ς ̄, and .36 δεσμεύοντες χόρτον τὰς τειλείσας (ἀρούρας) ε ̄.

For the uncommon subst. τίλσις, ";a plucking out,"; see P Lond 113. 3.7 (vi/A.D.) σπερμάτων καὶ κοπῆς ἢ καὶ τίλσεως; for τιλμός in the same sense see P Oxy XIV. 1631.9 (A.D. 280) τ ]ι ̣λμο ̣̣ς καλάμου, and ib. 1692.10 (A.D. 188); and for τίλμα see Herodas II. 69.
