Vocabulary of the Greek NT

προσέχω is us ed absol. = ";attend to,"; ";pay attention to"; in P Magd 22.5 (B.C. 221) ὁ δὲ οὐ προσέσχεν, and c. gen. in ib. 3 recto.7 (B.C. 221) οὐ προσέσχηκεν ἡμῶν : cf. also P Par 45.7 (B.C. 152) (= UPZ i. p. 329) προσέχων πὴ εὕρῃ τι κατὰ σοῦ ἰπῖν, ";while I am taking heed lest he should find anything to say against you"; : cf. Luke 21:34, Hebrews 2:1.

A good parallel to 1 Timothy 4:13 is afforded by P Oxy III. 53.11 (ii/A.D.), where a father writes to his son τοῖς βιβλίοις σου αὐτὸ μόνον πρόσεχ [ε ] φιλολογῶν, ";give your undivided attention to your books, devoting yourself to learning"; (Edd.) : cf. P Petr II. 20ii. 1 (B.C. 252) μὴ προσεσχηκέναι τῆι. . ἐπιστολῆι ";has not attended to the letter"; (cf. Acts 8:6), P Tebt II. 410.4 (A.D. 16) Σωτηρίχω [ι ] τῶι λάξωι. . [.] πρόσεχ ̣ε ̣, ";give heed to Soterichus the stonemason,"; P Oxy VI. 930.11 (ii/iii A.D.) ἠμερίμνουν γὰρ περὶ αὐτοῦ εἰδυῖα ὅτι κατὰ δύν [α ]μιν μέλλει σοι προσέχειν, ";for I had no anxiety about him, knowing that he intended to look after you to the best of his ability"; (Edd.), ib. XIV. 1682.12 (iv/A.D.) τὸ τέκνον σου τοῖς ἔργοις ἑαυτοῦ προσεχέτω. See also P Tor I. 1vii. 35 (B.C. 117–116) μὴ προσεκτέον αὐτῶι παρ᾽ ἕκαστα περισπᾶν τοὺς περὶ τὸν Ὧρον.

For the subst. προσοχή, as in Sap 6:18, cf. P Par 63.41 (B.C. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 20) μετὰ τῆς ἐνδ ̣εχομένης προσοχῆς ";with fitting care,"; and P Tebt I. 27.78 (cited s.v. ἐνθυμέομαι).
