For the rare use of the active of this verb, as in Revelation 10:7; Revelation 14:6, we can now appeal not only to Dion Cass. lxi. 13. 4 where the reading is doubtful, but to P Giss I. 27.6 (end of Trajan’s reign or beginning of Hadrian’s) (= Chrest. I. 17) where reference is made to the arrival from Memphis of a slave of the strategus Apollonius, announcing a victory he had gained—ἐ ]ρχομένῳ εὐαγγελίζοντι τὰ τῆς νείκης αὐτοῦ καὶ προκοπῆς. See also the Christian hymn of iv/A.D. P Amh I. 2.16 παισὶν δ᾽ [ε ]ὐηγγέλιζε λέγων, Πτωχοὶ βασιλείαν. . . The literary and Biblical usage of the mid. is fully illustrated by Milligan Thess. p. 141 ff. : add for the former Menandrea p. 106.83 εὐ ]αγγελίσασθαι πρ ̣[ὸς ] σὲ ταῦτ᾽ ἐβ ̣ουλόμην, and Longus Daphnis and Chloe iii. 33 τὸν γάμον εὐηγγελίζετο, ";full of joy brings her the annunciation of the marriage"; (Thornley).
