Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The ordinary meaning of this word ";to make a request,"; ";to ask for something"; is borne out by the papyri, e.g. P Fay 109.12 (early i/A.D.) αἴτησον Σάραν τὰς τοῦ (δραχμὰς) ι ̄β ̄, ";ask Saras for the twelve (silver) drachmae."; In ib. 121.12 ff. (c. A.D. 100) it is construed with the accusative of the thing and παρά, τὸ δ ̣[έρ ] μ ̣α τοῦ μόσχου οὗ ἐθ ̣υ ̣[σ ]αμεν αἴτησον πα ̣[ρὰ τοῦ ] κύρτου βυρσέως, ";ask the hunchbacked tanner for the hide of the calf that we sacrificed"; (Edd.) : cf. Acts 3:2. See further s.v. ἐρωτάω, and for the distinction between active and middle Proleg., p. 160 f. If the middle connotes a greater degree of earnestness, it is natural that it should be more frequent than the active, as for example in the phrases αἰτούμενος λόγον δηλῶ. . . (P Hamb I. 6.8 (A.D. 129), αἰτούμενος. . . ὀνόματα. . . δίδομει (BGU I. 91.5 ff. A.D. 170–1), and see the list of passages in the index to Syll (iii. p. 245). The verbal occurs negatived in P Ryl II. 163.4 (A.D. 139) γῆς κατοικικῆς ἀναιτήτου, ";not subject to demand"; (Edd.—see the note on 164.4).
