Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Oxy IV. 717.14 (late i/B.C.) ἠν ]άγκασμαι βοᾶν αὐτῶι. A somewhat weakened sense is seen in P Fay 110.4 (A.D. 94) εὖ ποιήσεις. . ἀναγκάσας ἐκχωσθῆναι τὸ ἐν αὐτῶι κόπριον, ";please have the manure there banked up"; (Edd.) : cf. the use in Luke 14:23, where ἀνάγκασον describes the ";constraint"; of hospitality which will not be denied. Other occurrences are BGU IV. 1042.5, 6 (iii/A.D.) ἐ [ν ]έτ ̣υ ̣χ [ε τ ]ῷ δικαιοδότῃ καὶ ἀ [ν ]ή [γκ ]αζέ με προσκαρτερεῖν τῷ βήμ [ατ ]ι αὐτοῦ : so we venture to restore the text, in accordance with the meaning clearly needed—the augment will be a blunder like that which secured permanent footing in διηκόνουν, etc. A similar aor. is apparently intended in P Amh II. 133.12 (early ii/A.D.) καὶ μετὰ πολλῶν κόπων ἀνηκάσαμεν (l. ἀνηγκ -) αὐτῶν (for αὐτούς) ἀντασχέσθαι κτλ. ";and with great difficulty I made them set to work"; (Edd.). The contracted future occurs in an edict of Germanicus on a Berlin papyrus (Archiv vi. p. 286) ἐάμ μοι μὴ πεισθῆτε, ἀναγκᾶτέ με κτλ. BGU IV. 1141.7 (end of i/B.C.) ἀναγκάζομαι μηκέτι σοὶ μηδὲν γ ̣ρ ̣α ̣ψ ̣α ̣ι ̣, [ἵνα ] νοήσῃς. P Lond 951 verso .3 (late iii/A.D.) (= III. p. 213) ἤκουσ ̣[α ] ο ̣̓́[τ ]ι θηλάζειν ̣ αὐτὴν ἀναγκάζεις. The verb is MGr.
