Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Tebt II. 423.13 f. (early iii/A.D.) ὡς εἰς ἀγωνίαν με γενέσθαι ἐν τῷ πάροντι, ";so I am at present very anxious"; (Edd.). The corresponding verb is common with the meaning ";to be distressed,"; ";to fear."; Thus P Petr II. 11 (1) ἵνα εἰδῶμεν ἐν οἷς εἶ καὶ μὴ ἀγωνιῶμεν, ";that we may know what you are about, and we may not be anxious"; (Ed.); ib. III. 53 (l).15 f. οὐ γὰρ ὡς ἔτυχεν ἀγωνιῶμεν, ";for we are in a state of no ordinary anxiety"; (Edd.); P Oxy IV. 744.4 (B.C. 1) ( = Selections, p. 32), μὴ ἀγωνιᾷς, ";do not worry";; ib..14 ἐρωτῶ σε οὖν ἵνα μὴ ἀγωνιάσῃς, ";I urge you therefore not to worry."; An almost contemporary instance is afforded by BGU IV. 1078.5 (A.D. 39) ὅτι ἀγωνιῶ περὶ ὑμῶν : of a later date are P Giss I. 17.5,12 (time of Hadrian), ib. 19.3 μεγάλως ἀγωνιῶσα περί σου, PSI 94.16 (ii/A.D.) μὴ ἀγωνία δὲ περὶ τῶν ἱματίων. The verb is found twice in the apocryphal Gospel of Peter 5, ἠγωνίων μή ποτε ὁ ἥλιος ἔδυ, and 10 ἀγωνιῶντες μεγάλως καὶ λέγοντες Ἀληθῶς υἱὸς ἦν θεοῦ. On the translation of ἀγωνία in Luke 22:44 see a note by Moffatt in Exp. VIII. vii. p. 91 ff.
