Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Ryl II. 134.13 (A.D. 34) ἐκλέπη μο (υ) ἐν τῇ κώμῃ ὗς illustrates a late form of the aor. pass. : cf. ib. 137.11 (A.D. 34), 140.11 (A.D. 36). P Oxy III. 472.14 ff. (c. A.D. 130) is worth recording, as showing three different parts of the verb—ἐὰν λέγωσιν δοῦλον Σμάραγδον ἀνεύρετον γ ̣ε ̣[γ ]ονέν ̣αι αὐτὸν αἰτίαν ἔχοντα τοῦ τὴν πίστιν κεκλοφέναι, φη [σ ]ι ̣, ν ̣ δ᾽οὖν καὶ πίστιν γεγονέναι ἵνα κλεπῇ, οὐ δύναται γὰρ κεκλέφθαι τὸ μηδ᾽ ἀρχὴν γενόμενον μὴ δύνατον δ᾽εἶναι, ";if they say that the slave Smaragdus has disappeared being himself accused of having stolen the mortgage—he only asserts that a mortgage was made in order that it might be stolen; for it is impossible for that to have been stolen which neither ever existed at all, nor could exist"; (Edd.). In BGU I. 322.27 (A.D. 216) (= Chrest. II. p. 140) we have a petition that certain petitioners should be brought to justice—π ]ρὸς τὸ. . . δυνηθῆναί με ἀντὶ πλειόνων τῶν κλεπέντων τὰ [ς σ ]ταθείσ [ας ] μου πυροῦ ἀρτάβας ἑπτὰ ἀπολαβ [εῖ ]ν. With the perf. act. κέκλεβα, as in Syll 653.75 (cited s.v. κλέμμα), cf. MGr κλέβω, found alongside κλέφω and κλέφτω.
