Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The intensive force of this compound ";use up,"; ";use to the full,"; which is found in 1 Corinthians 7:31, may be illustrated from P Oxy II. 281.14 (A.D. 20–50) where a woman lodges a complaint against her husband—ὁ δὲ Σαραπίων καταχρησάμενος τῆι φερνῇ εἰς ὃν ἠβούλετο λόγον οὐ διέλειπεν κακουχῶν με καὶ ὑβρί [ζ ]ων, ";but Sarapion, having squandered my dowry as he pleased, continually ill-treated and insulted me";(Edd.) : and similarly P Tebt II. 334.12 (A.D. 200–1) where a woman complains that, after the death of her parents, her husband carried off all that they had left her to his house—κ ̣[αὶ αὐ ]τὸς κατα ̣[χρῆται, ";and is using it up"; (Edd.). Cf. also BGU IV. 1105.17 (c. B.C. 10) ὁ δὲ ] διαβαλλόμενος Ἀσκληπιάδης ε ̣̓π ̣ε ̣[ὶ ἐ ]νέα ̣ι ̣ν ̣ε ̣ δ ̣ι ̣ ̣ τῆς συμβιώσε ̣ ω ̣ς ̣ [ ]π ̣ο ̣, μ ̣η ̣δ ̣ν ̣ο ̣, ς ̣ καταχρησάμεν ̣ο ̣ς ̣ τ ̣ο ̣ῖς ̣ π ̣ρ ̣ο ̣κειμένοις κακουχία ̣ς ̤ (sic) μ ̣ε ̣ καὶ καθυβρίζει καὶ τὰς χεῖρας ἐπιφέρων χρῆται ὡς ο ̣υ ̣̓δ ̣ε ̣, ἀρ ̣γυρω ̣ν ̣ήτ ̣ωι, ib. 1133.10 (B.C. 18) αὐτο (ὺς) δὲ τῷ παντ () [εἰς τ ]ὸ ἴδιο (ν) κατακεχρῆσθαι.

On the other hand the verb is practically = the simplex in P Petr III. 39ii. 15 τοῦ προσηγμ [ένου καὶ ] κατακεχρημένου [θ ]ρύου with reference to rushes used in irrigation works, ib. 46(3).3 πλίνθου καταχρησθείσης εἰς τοὺς οἰκοδομηθέντας τοίχους, P Oxy III. 494.20 (A.D. 156), a will in which the testator leaves to his wife certain monies—καταχρᾶσθαι εἰς τὸ ἴδιον, ";to use for her personal requirements,"; and Preisigke 4630.15 (ii/A.D.) ἐκ τῶν παρασκευασθέντων ἡμῖν πρὸς τὸ δ ̣[ ]πνον κατάχρησαι. From the inscrr. we may cite Syll 653.62 (B.C. 91) μηδὲ γραψάτω μηθεὶς δόγμα, ὅτι δεῖ ταῦτα τὰ διάφορα εἰς ἄλλο τι καταχρήσασθαι, OGIS 669.19 (i/A.D.) οἱ τῆι πρωτοπραξίᾳ πρὸς ἃ μὴ <ι > δεῖ καταχρώμενοι.
