Constr.:

I

1. c. acc., outrage, maltreat, ὅτι τὸν ξεῖνον.. δήσας λυμαίνοιτο Hdt. 5.33; τὴν ἵππον ἐλυμήναντο ἀνηκέστως Id. 8.28; ὀργῇ χάριν δούς, ἥ σ' ἀεὶ λυμαίνεται S. OC 855; λ. λέχη dishonour.., E.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For an early example of the rare passive use of this verb, see the citation from P Par 6 s.v. λύκος, and cf. P Petr III. 27 recto.2 λελ ̣υμάνθαι, in a broken context. For the verb construed with the acc. cf. P Leid Wvii. 39 (ii/iii A.D.) οὐ μή μου λυμάνῃς σάρκα (of fire), and for the dat. see P Oxy XII. 1409.21 (A.D. 278) λυμαινόμενος τοῖς ἐπὶ τῇ σωτηρίᾳ συνπά [ση ]ς τῆς Αἰγύπτου προη ̣ρ ̣[ημέ ]νοις, ";injuring measures designed for the safety of the whole of Egypt"; (Edd.). The form λοιμαίνομαι, which occurs six times in B, may be illustrated from a ii/B.C. complaint regarding property, P Grenf I. 17.15 (as completed by Gerhard Erbstreit) ἕτερα γράμματα λοιμαινάμενοι ἔβλαψαν τὰ δι᾽ αὐτῶν διάφορα : see Mayser Gr. p. 111, Moulton Gr. ii. p. 83. From the inscrr. we may cite Syll 584.3 (i/B.C. ?) μηδὲ σκεῦος τῶν τῆς θεοῦ λυμαίνεσθαι, ib. 653.26 (B.C. 91) ἐξουσίαν ἐχέτω λυμαίνεσθαι, ib. 888.11 (ii/A.D.) λυμήνασθαι δὲ μηδὲ λωβήσασθαι μηδέν, Cagnat IV. 961.5 τούτ [ω ]ν [δέ τι ] ὃς ἂν λυμ [ ]νηται, ἐξώλη [εἶναι ] καὶ γένος αὐτοῦ.
