Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This very common verb is found with the simple gen. in P Hib I. 63.16 (c. B.C. 265) τούτων ἄφελε , ";deduct from this"; : cf. Revelation 22:19 with ἀπό added. Passim in the same sense in P Lond 265 (= II. p. 257), a mathematical papyrus of i/A.D. For the more general sense of ";carry off,"; ";take away,"; cf. P Petr III. 53 (j).15 ὥστε ἀφελέσθαι ἡμῶν βία [ι τὸ κτῆμα ], P Magd 6.6 (B.C. 221) ἀφείλοντο (a garment), ib. 42.5 (B.C. 221) τό τε περιτραχηλίδιον ἐκ καθορμίων λιθινῶν ἀφε ̣ίλετό μ ̣[οι ], and so in P Lond 41.13 and .15 (B.C. 161) (= I. p. 28), one of the papyri dealing with the grievances of the Serapeum Twins—ἀφελῖν α [ὐ ]τῶν τοὺς ἄρτους and ἀφίλεσαν τοὺς αὐτῶν δι ́δύμων ἄρτους . It has an extreme meaning in IosPE i. 22.31, ὑπὸ τοῦ βασκάνου δαίμονος ἀφῃρέθη , by death. In BGU I. 74.8 (ii/A.D.) καὶ γὰρ ἂν ἄλογον εἴη ὁπόσων μὲν υ [ ] ἀφερετείητε , we are apparently to understand ἀφαιρεθείητε ";you might be robbed."; It may be noted that the middle could be used for the meaning ";rob,"; as BGU III. 759.15 (A.D. 125) ἀφελ [ό ]μενοί μοι χιτῶνα , etc. We need only add the occurrence of the word in the vi/A.D. Christian amulet edited by Wilcken in Archiv i. p. 431 ff. (cf. Selections, p. 132 ff.) where the prayer occurs, 12 πᾶσαν δὲ νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν ἄφελε ἀπ᾽ ἐμον , ὅπως ὑγιανῶ , ";take away from me all manner of disease and all manner of sickness that I may be in health.";
