Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The NT writers use ἀνακλίνεσθαι, ";to recline at a table,"; instead of the classical παρα - and κατα -κλίνεσθαι, in a way which suggests that this usage was characteristic of the common speech, though we are unable to illustrate it. Sir W. M. Ramsay has drawn our attention to the fact that in the anti-Christian Society of Tekmoreioi at Pisidian Antioch the President was πρωτανακλίτης, who sits in the chief place at table, and he takes this as an indication that the ritual feast was moulded on the Eucharist. For such imitations as marking the pagan reaction about A.D. 304–13, see his Pauline and other Studies, p. 103 ff.
