Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the intrans. use ";go before,"; ";precede,"; as in Mark 6:45, cf. Syll 316 (= .3 684).25 (c. B.C. 139?) Τιμόθεον. . . [κέλευσα ] προάγειν εἰς Ῥώμην, ";I bade Timothy go before me to Rome,"; P Leid Wxi. 30 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 119) προάγω σου κύριε, and Babrius vii. 7. For the pass. see BGU IV. 1060.25 (B.C. 14) ὅθεν καταπεπονη ̣μένοι προήγμεθα πρὸς ἀπειλαῖς, P Oxy II. 283.16 (A.D. 45) διὸ προῆγμαι τὸ ὑπόμνημα ἐπιδοῦναι, ";I am impelled, therefore, to present this petition,"; PSI IV. 299.2 (iii/A.D.) προήχθην γράψαι σο [ι τ ]ὰ συμβάντα μοι, ";I was impelled to write you what had happened to me,"; and from the inscrr. Syll 325 (= .3 708).19 (before B.C. 100) τῇ ] τε ἡλικίᾳ προκόπτων καὶ προαγόμενος εἰς τὸ θεοσεβεῖν ὡς ἔπρεπεν αὐτῷ. The simple sense ";preceding,"; ";previous,"; belonging to the part. in Hebrews 7:18, is shown in PSI V. 450.59 (ii/iii A.D.) τοῦ προάγοντος μηνός, P Hamb I. 18ii. 13 (A.D. 222) τῆς προαγούσης βασιλείας, P Oxy VII. 1070.2 (iii/A.D.) ἡ προάγουσα παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ παρὰ πᾶσι θεοῖς εὐχή, ";the prayer which I previously made to all the gods"; (Ed.), and IMAe iii. 247 τὰ προάγοντα ψαφίσματα.

For the meaning ";preside"; cf. P Tor I.1viii. 21 (B.C. 116) προάγοντας τῆς κωμασίας, and for a possible absolute sense ";excel,"; cf. P Oxy I. 42.3 (A.D. 323) (= Chrest. I. p. 182) τὸ ἔθος ὁμοῦ τε καὶ ἡ πανήγυρις προάγουσα [σ ]ημαίνει. . ., ";tradition, no less than the distinguished character of the festival, requires . . ."; (Edd.). See also OGIS 323.6 (B.C. 159–138) συνέσει καὶ παιδείαι προάγιον.

The subst. προαγωγή in the sense of ";advancement"; occurs in a Delos decree of the time of Ptolemy Philometor published in Archiv vi. p. 9A.4—Ἀγλαὸς. . τῆς μεγίστης τιμῆς καὶ προαγωγῆς ἠξιωμένος παρὰ βασιλ [εῖ ] Πτολεμαίωι : see the other exx. cited on p. 18 f.
