Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Tebt I. 41.10 (c. B.C. 119) ἑτέρων γυναικῶν διασείειν gives us an early example of the Hellenistic use = ";extort."; It takes the (ablative) genitive here, if the cases of a very muddled scribe are to be regarded as deliberate : in Luke 3:14 and many other places it has the accusative, e.g. P Par 15.37 (B.C. 120) χάριν τοῦ διασεῖσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ εἰς βλάβας περιστῆσαι. With the Lukan passage, cf. P Oxy II. 240.5 (A.D. 37) where we have an oath by a κωμογραμματεύς that he knows of no villager διασεσεισμέ [νωι ] . . . ὑπὸ. . . στρατιώτου. This unknown soldier might have come almost fresh from the Baptist’s exhortation! For the same combination of verbs as in Lk l.c., see P Tebt I. 43.26 (B.C. 118) συκοφαντηθῶμεν διασεισμένω ̣ν (l. διασεσεισμένοι ?), ";be subject to false accusations and extortions."; Other examples of the verb are P Oxy II. 284.5 (c. A.D. 50) διασείσθην ὑπὸ Ἀπολλοφάνους, ib. 285.13 (c. A.D. 50) διέσισέν με ἄλλας δραχμὰς τέσσαρας, both referring to extortions by the same tax-collector : cf. also the editor’s note to P Giss I. 61.10 (A.D. 119), where a number of references are collected, and P Leid G.15 σκυλλόμεν ]ος δὲ καὶ [δια ]σειόμενος παρ᾽ ἕκαστον, where the editor regards σκύλλω as the wider term—";de omni vexatione universe,"; while those are said διασείειν ";qui minis, aliave ratione illicite alicui pecuniam vel simile quid extorquent. "; A rather more general meaning is suggested by P Tor. I. 1viii. 13 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest. II. p. 38) ὑπολαμβάνοντα εὐχερῶς διασείσειν τοὺς ἀντιδίκους, ";confisum se facile concussurum adversarios,"; as Peyron renders; but ";browbeat, intimidate"; seems more appropriate than ";blackmail."; The combination of Luke 3:14 is repeated with nouns in P Tor I. 1v. 1 (B.C. 116) ἐπὶ τῆι πάσηι συκοφαντίαι καὶ διασεισμῶι, P Tebt I. 43.36 (B.C. 118) συκοφαντίας τε καὶ διασισμοῦ χάριν, ";for the sake of calumny and extortion"; (Edd.). A form διάσεισις occurs in ib. 41.30 (c. B.C. 119) πρὸς τη ̣̑[ι ] διασείσει.
