Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For δεσμεύω , ";bind together,"; as in Matthew 23:4, cf. P Lond 131 recto.426, .437 (farm accounts—A.D. 78–9) (= I. p. 182 f.) ἐργάτηι δεσμεύοντι ἀγκάλας . . . δεσμεύων ἀγκάλας ἐν τω ̣̑ χωρίῳ ἐργάτης α ̄, P Oxy VII. 1049.7 (late ii/A.D.) ἄλ (λοις ) β ̄ ἐργ (άταις ) δεσμ (εύουσι ) μανδ (άκας ) (δραχμαὶ ) γ ̄ (τριώβολον ), so .12, .17, .22, and P Flor III. 322.31 (? A.D. 258) δεσμεύοντες τὸν αὐτὸν χόρτον δέσμες (i.e. -αις ) βυ ̄ (also .22, .36). In this meaning the verb is linked with δέσμη : for that which looks towards δεσμός , as in Luke 8:29, cf. the incantation in the great Paris magical papyrus, P Par 574.1246 (iii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 114) ἔξελθε δαῖμον , ἐπεί σε δεσμεύω δεσμοῖς ἀδαμαντίνοις ἀλύτοις . Cf. P Lond 46.320 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 75) δεσμεύων λέγε καταδεσμεύω τὸν (δεῖνα ) κτλ .
