Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In a decree of Ptolemy Philometor (B.C. 181–145) published in Archiv vi. p. 9 we find.12 οὔτε κίνδυνον οὔτε κακοπαθίαν οὐδεμίαν ἐκκέκ [λ ]ικεν : cf. OGIS 339.5 (c. B.C. 120), 443.14 (i/B.C.), and Cagnat IV. 134.14 (ii/B.C.). The verb is taken as = ";faire défaut"; by the editor (see Index p. 476) in P Par 15.22 (B.C. 120), συνιστοροῦντες ἑαυτοῖς οὐδὲν βέβαιον ἔχουσι ἐξέκλιναν. Similarly P Tor I. 2.33, and cf. ib. 1ii. 17 (B.C. 117) καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα πολλάκις ἐπιβεβληκότος εἰς τὴν Διόσπολιν, ἐκκλίνοντες οὐ διαλείπουσιν, ";semper occursum meum devitant"; (Ed.).
