Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The verb is of course common enough, and needs little or no illustration, having few peculiarities. Its use for a judicial hearing (as Acts 25:22) may be paralleled with P Iand 9.10 (ii/A.D.) καὶ [μέ ]χ ̣[ρ ̣ι ̣] τ ̣ούτου οὔπο ἠκούσθ [η ̣μ ̣]εν ̣, and P Oxy VII. 1032.59 (A.D. 162), where the epistrategus endorses a petition with ἀκουσθήσε ̣τ ̣αι. So in BGU II. 511ii. 2 ( = Chrest. I. p. 26), an account written about A.D. 200 of a trial before Claudius, we have ἀκούει Κλαύδιος Καῖσα [ρ Σέβαστος Ἰσιδώρου ] γυμνασιάρχου πόλεως Ἀ [λεξανδρέων ] κατὰ Ἀγρίππου βασιλέω [ς ]. The last example will illustrate ἀκούειν with normal gen. of person : P Par 48.4 (B.C. 153) ( = Witkowski .2 p. 91) ἀκούσαντες. . τὰ περὶ σοῦ συνβεβηκότα will serve for accus. rei, and will also illustrate the common use with περί, since the phrase is a mixture of ἀκ. περὶ σοῦ and ἀκ. τά σοι συνβεβηκότα (Witk.). The same papyrus shows us the participial object clause, 1.2 ἀκούσαντες δὲ ἐν τῷ μεγάλῳ Σαραπιείου ὄντα σε. In P Amh II. 37.8 (ii/B.C.) ἐκούομεν δὲ μὴ παραγεγονέ [ναι. . . we have apparently the infin. construction, and so in P Grenf II. 36.15 (B.C. 95), ἠκούσαμεν τὸν μῦν καταβεβρωκέναι τὸν σπόρον —Witkowski (.2 p. 120, cf. p. xiv.) allows the writer to be ";modice eruditus."; For ἀκούειν ὡς cf. CPHerm 22.5 : for the commoner ὅτι, P Tebt II. 416.8 (iii/A.D.) μὴ οὖν ἀκούσῃς ἀνθ ̣ρ ̣ω ̣πων ὅτι μέλλω μένιν ἐνθάδε. With the introductory imper., as in Mark 4:3, cf. the dialogue in P Ryl II. 63.8 (iii/A.D.) where ἄκουε precedes an exposition.
