This common verb, as in Greek writers generally, is construed both with the acc. and the dat. As exx. of the former constr. we may cite P Hib I. 56.7 (B.C. 249) σὺ οὖν μὴ ἐνόχλει [α ]ὐτόν, P Leid W iii. 34 (ii/iii A.D.) μαθὼν δὲ τὸν κύριον τῆς ἡμέρα (l.—ας), ἐκεῖνον ἐνόχλει λέγων · Κύριε κτλ., and P Oxy VI. 899.44 (A.D. 200) where a woman petitions that the collectors of certain dues should not be allowed ἐνοχλεῖσθαί με γυναῖκα οὖσ [α ]ν ἄνανδρον καὶ ἀβοήθητον, ";to harass me, a woman without a husband or helper"; (Edd.) : cf. from the inscrr. Syll 253.14 (iii/B.C.) γέγρα [φ ]α τῶι Ἡρακλείδηι μὴ ἐνο [χ ]λεῖν ὑμᾶς. For the dat. constr. see P Tebt II. 286.8 (A.D. 121–38) σὺ δὲ περὶ τῶν οὐ ζη [τ ]ουμένων ἐνοχλεῖ (l.—εῖν) μοι θέλεις, ";but you still wish to trouble me about points which are not at issue"; (Edd.), P Oxy VII. 1068.11 (iii/A.D.) ἐφ᾽ ᾧ μηδὶς ἐνοχλήσι αὐτῷ, ib. IX. 1221.9 (iii/iv A.D.) τῷ οὖν Ζωιλᾷ μὴ ἐνόχλει περὶ τούτου, and from the inscrr. Syll 418.62 (A.D. 238) οὐδεὶς ἡμεῖν ἐνόχλησεν. P Tebt II. 335.13 f. (mid. iii/A.D.) παύεσθαί μου τὸν ὀφφικιάλιον τῆς τάξεως ἐνο ̣[χλοῦντα ]. ἐνοχλεῖ γάρ μοι κτλ., ";that the magistrates’ subordinate may give up troubling me. For he troubles me"; etc.—shows an unusual construction with the gen. due to the influence of παύεσθαι. For the pass. we may cite P Petr II . 16.10 (mid. iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski .2, p. 12) ἵνα μη ]θὲν ἐνοχλῆται τὸ οἰκόπεδον, OGIS 669.60 (i/A.D.) μὴι (l. μή) μάτην ἐνοχλείσθωσαν. In P Hamb I. 27.2 (B.C. 250) συνέβη οὖμ μοι ἐνοχληθῆναι ἐμ Φιλαδελφείαι [ὥστε ἀσχολί ]αν με ἔχειν τῆι ἡμέραι ἐκείνηι, the verb does not seem to mean much more than ";be engaged."; In P Petr II. 25 (a).12 εἰς ἵππον ἐνοχλούμενον = ";for a sick horse."; For διενοχλέω see BGU III. 830.8 (i/A.D.) διενοχλ [ο ]ύμενος. . ὑπὸ τῶν πρακτόρων.
