Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The manifestation of strong feeling, which is the distinguishing note of this verb, comes out well in a fragmentary petition written under much excitement, P Oxy IV. 717.9 (late (i/B.C.) ἐγὼ οὖν ἐβόων καὶ ἔκραζον , cf. .12, .13, .14. See also P Oxy I. 41.19 (iii/iv A.D.) ὁ δῆμος ἐβόησεν —the account of a popular demonstration. For similar acclamations in the inscriptions we may cite Syll 607.15 (iii/iv A.D.) ἐβ (όησαν ) οἱ σύνεδροι . ";Παμφίλῳ καλὴ ἡ (εἰσ )ήγησις . οὕτω γεινέσθω ,"; and the compound ἐξ (εβόησαν ) in ib. 737.13, .24 (ii/iii A.D.).
