Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐμπλέκω is used of a hostile attack in P Tebt I. 39.17 (B.C. 114) καὶ ἐπελθὼν οὕτως ὁ προγεγραμμένος καὶ ἡ τού [το ]υ γυνὴ Ταυσῖρις ἐμπλεκέντες μοι καὶ δόντες πληγὰς πλείους, ";thereupon the aforesaid and his wife T. closed with me and gave me many blows."; Vett. Val. p. 118.4 προσέτι δὲ καὶ εἰς δουλικὰ πρόσωπα καὶ παῖδας ἐμπλέκονται, de re venerea. With 2 Timothy 2:4 cf. Epict. iii. 22. 69 μή ποτ᾽ ἀπερίσπαστον εἶναι δεῖ τὸν Κυνικὸν. . . οὐ προσδεδεμένον καθήκουσιν ἰδιωτικοῖς οὐδ᾽ ἐμπεπλεγμένον σχέσεσιν, ἃς παραβαίνων κτλ.; (see Sharp Epict. p. 72), Polyb. xxv. 9. 3 τοῖς Ἐλληνικοῖς πράγμασιν ἐμπλεκόμενος. The compound παρεμπλέκω occurs in P Tor I. 1viii. 28 (B.C. 117) τὸν δὲ Ἑρμίαν παρεμπλέκοντα τὰ μηδαμῶς ἀνήκοντα πρὸς τὴν ἐνεστῶσαν κρίσιν, ";Hermias vero interserens ea, quae nullo modo cum praesenti causa cohaerent"; (Ed.), and for ἐκπλέκω see P Tebt II. 315.29 (ii/A.D.) πρὶν γὰρ [α ] ̣τὸ [ν ] π [ρό ]ς σε έλθῖν ἐγὼ αὐτὸν ποι [ήσ ]ω ἐκπλέξαι σε, ";for I will make him let you through before he comes to you"; (Edd.), with reference to an official scrutiny of certain temple books, and P Oxy XII. 1490.6 (late iii/A.D.) εἰ οὖν πάλιν δύνῃ ἐκπλέξαι παρὰ σεαυτ ̣ω ̣, τύχῃ τῇ ἀγαθῇ, ";if then you can again get him off by yourself (?), good luck to you"; (Edd.).
