With this expressive compound (Colossians 1:24) cf. the similarly formed ἀνταναγινώσκω in the fragmentary P Petr II. 17 (l).16, where with reference apparently to certain ἐγκλήματα we read, ἀνταναγνώσθη μοι καθότι ἀξιῶ. Its opposite ἀνταναιρέω is common in Ptolemaic land-surveys = ";subtract";. In P Tebt I. alone there are over twenty instances of this use (see Index) : cf. also P Eleph 28.6 (iii/B.C.), and from i/A.D. BGU III. 776ii. 18 αἱ εἰς ἀτέλ (ειαν) ἀνταναιρ [ούμεναι. . . . Grimm’s citations sufficiently warrant ἀνταναπληρόω itself. Linde (p. 49) cites the noun (-ωσις) from Epicurus 11.5.
