Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The word is used with a large variety of meanings. Thus P Amh II. 34 (d).5 (c. B.C. 157) ἐκθεῖναι τὴν κατάστασιν εἰς μηδεμίαν ἀναβολὴν (";without delay";) ποησαμένους : cf. Syll 425.22 (iii/B.C.) ἀναβολὰν λαβόντες ἔτη τρία. In P Oxy IV. 729.7 (A.D. 137) τὴν δ ̣ὲ ἀν [α ]βολὴν ποιήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθίμων ἀναβολῶν, and P Goodsp Cairo 15.9 (A.D. 362) τὴν ἀναβολὴν πεποίημαι, we have the same phrase as in Acts 25:17 (plus the article), but in a wholly different sense, ";to make an embankment."; In P Tebt II. 378.20 (A.D. 265) τοὺς [δι ]ωρύγων τε κ [αὶ ὑδ ]ραγωγῶν [ ]ναβολάς is rendered by the editors ";banking up of canals and conduits,"; and probably a similar rendering, rather than ";dredging,"; should be given to P Amh II. 91.11 (A.D. 159) ἀναβολὰς διωρύγω (ν) : cf. CPHerm 41 χώμασι καὶ ἀναβολαῖς, and P Lond 1171.60 (B.C. 8) (= III. p. 179) ἀναβολῆς ναυβίων (see on ἀναβάλλω, and Kenyon’s note here). In P Oxy VI. 909.25 (A.D. 225) τὴν προκειμένων ἀκανθῶν ἀναβολήν, the word is used in the unusual sense of digging up or uprooting (see the editors’ note). In P Tebt II. 413.10 (ii/iii A.D.) the editors translate τέρα ἀνβ ̣ο ̣λ ̣ ̣ (l. τέσσαρας ἀναβολάς), ";4 bags,"; and compare P Oxy IV. 741.14 (II/A.D.) where ἀναβολή, in the sense of ἀναβολίδιον, occurs next before προχείρια in a list of articles. Further in a legal document P Petr III. 21 (g).21 (iii/B.C.) we have τῆς ἀναβ ̣ολ ̣ῆς το ̣υ ̣ͅ ἱμα ̣τ ̣ίο ̣υ with hiatus before and after, so that we cannot certainly join the words. In P Théad Inv. 15, a receipt of Constantine’s time, those who grant the receipt name themselves ἀποδέκται λίηου τουυ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ἀναβολικοῦ, where Jouguet finds a reference to the linen for a military mantle (";ἀναβολικοῦ de ἀναβολή = ἀμβολή = abolla, etc.";) : but see Wilcken Archiv, iv. p. 185.

[Supplemental from 1930 edition]

See note ad P Oxy XII. 1480.11 (A.D. 32).
