Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The verb is common = ";insult,"; ";treat wrongfully."; Thus in P Flor I. 99.10 (i/ii A.D.) (= Selections, p. 72) we find the parents of a youth, who had squandered his and their property, announcing—οὗ χάριν προορώμεθα μήποτε ἐ [π ]ηρεάσηι ἡμεῖν ἢ ἕτερο [ν ] (omit.) ἄτοπο ̣ν τι πράξη [ι, ";on that account we are taking precautions lest he should deal despitefully with us, or do anything else amiss"; : cf. P Fay 123.7 (c. A.D. 100) διὰ τὸ ἐπηρεᾶσθαι οὐκ ἠδυνήθην κατελθεῖν, ";owing to my having been molested I was unable to come down,"; P Gen I. 31.18 (A.D. 145–6) πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἔτι ὕστερόν με ἐπηρεάζεσθαι, BGU I. 15.12 (A.D. 194) ὅτι νῦν κωμογραμματεὺς ἐπηρεάζει τῷ συνηγορουμ [ ]νῳ, PSI I. 92.4 (iii/A.D.) ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐπηρέασεν ἡμῖν, and OGIS 484.26 (ii/A.D.) δι᾽ ὧν ἐπηρέαζον μάλιστα τοὺς τὸν ἰχθὺν πιπράσκοντας. The middle is found in an interesting document in which a weaver petitions on the ground of poverty against his name being inserted in the list of those eligible for the office of πρεσβύτερος τῆς κώμης, or village elder, P Lond 846.6 (A.D. 140) (= III. p. 131) οἱ δὲ τῆς κώμης πρεσβύτεροι ἐπηρεάζοντ [ό μοι ὅπως ] ἀναδώσω καί μου τ ̣ο ̣, κτῆμα εἰς πρεσβυτερείαν τῆς κώμης ἀπ [όρου ] μου ὄ [ν ]τος. For the subst. ἐπηρεασμός, see P Tebt I. 28.4 (c. B.C. 114) διὰ τὸν. . . [πηρ ]εασμόν, ";on account of the insolent conduct,"; and for ἐπηρεία, BGU I. 340.21 (A.D. 148–9) ἐπὶ οὖν οὗτοι οὐκ ἀφί [στα ]ντε (l.νται) τῆς κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐπηρίας, and the curious mantic P Ryl I. 28.139 (iv/A.D.) where the quivering of the right legbone is taken as a sign that the person will be involved ἐν ἐπηρίᾳ, ";in illtreatment.";
