δια -λέγομαι

(mid. of διαλέγω , to pick out, distinguish, as depon.),

[in LXX: Exodus 6:21, Isaiah 63:1 (H1696 pi.), Judges 8:1 (H7378), 1 Esdras 8:46, Ezra 5:2, Sirach 14:20, 2 Maccabees 11:20 *;]

to converse with, discourse (v. Cl. Rev., i, 45), discuss, argue: Acts 18:4; Acts 19:8-9; Acts 20:9; c. dat. pers., Acts 17:17; Acts 18:19; Acts 20:7, Hebrews 12:5; seq. πρός , Mark 9:34, Acts 17:17; Acts 24:12; περί Acts 24:25, Judges 1:9; ἀπὸ τ . γραφῶν , Acts 17:2.†

P Oxy X. 1349 (iv/A.D.) ἐπειδὴ ἐξῆλθα ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐχθὲς μὴ διαλεχθείς σοι περὶ τῆς κυθίδος (i.e. κυθρ. = χυτρ.). P Petr III. 43 (3).15 (B.C. 240) ἔτι δὲ [οὐ ]κ ἀγνοεῖς ὡς σοὶ διελέγην περὶ τοῦ ση [σ ]άμου, ";you know how I conversed with you about the sesame"; (Edd.). BGU IV. 1080.11 (? iii/A.D.) καθὼς οὖν ὁ ἀδελφός σου Ἀμμωνᾶς διείλεκταί μοι περὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν ὑμῶν πραγμάτων. P Flor II. 132.3 (A.D. 257) τοῖς κωμάρχαις τῆς Ταυρείνου διελέχθην περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ὀνηλάτου. These instances will suffice to show that διαλέγεσθαι has in the vernacular the use seen in Mark 9:34. Elsewhere in the NT, as Bp E. L. Hicks points out in CR i. p. 45, ";it always is used of addressing, preaching, lecturing,"; a use which he shows to be predominant in inscriptions.
