Vocabulary of the Greek NT

See P Leid Wv. 30 (ii/iii A.D.) ἰδὼν τὸν δράκοντα ὁ θεὸς ἐθαμβήθη καὶ ἐπόππυσε, and ib.xi. 39 καὶ ἡ γῆ ἀκούσασαἠχοῦς, καὶ ἰδοῦσα αὐτήν, ἐθαμβήθη, where the aor. has its full pass. force as in Mark 1:27 (cf. Blass-Debrunner § 78). The verb is restored in the new Logion, P Oxy IV. 654.7 μὴ παυσάσθω ὁ ζη [τῶν. . . . . . . . ἕως ἂν ] εὕρῃ καὶ ὅταν εὕρῃ [θαμβηθήσεται καὶ θαμ ]βηθεὶς βασιλεύσει. In MGr we have θαμπαίνω and θαμπώνω = ";blind,"; ";dazzle.";
