14. τῷλόγῳἡμῶνδιὰτῆςἐπιστολῆς] ‘ our word (sent) through the (present) epistle’ . The interpretation favoured by some of the older commentators by which διὰτ. ἐπιστ. is rather to be connected with what follows in the sense ‘ by means of a letter (from you) do you notify’ (cf. Tind. sende vs worde of him by a letter) is exposed to the well-founded objections that it is inconsistent with the natural order of the words, and with the use of the demonstrative τῆς (I. 5:27 note), which points to an existing letter rather than to one to be written afterwards. τοῦτονσημειοῦσθε] ‘ of this man take note’ (Vg. hunc notate). Σημειόομαι (ἅπ. λεγ. N.T.) means to ‘ mark or notify for oneself,’ and from being used in a neutral or even favourable (Psalms 4:7) sense came also to have the idea of disapprobation connected with it, e.g. Polyb. 5:78. 2 (of a sinister omen) σημειωσάμενοιτὸγεγονός. The ordinary usage of the word is illustrated by Aristeas 148 παραδέδωκενὁνομοθέτηςσημειοῦσθαιτοῖςσυνετοῖςεἶναιδικαίους, O.G.I.S. 629, 168 (Palmyra, 2./a.d.) ὁκράτιστοςἐσημ(ε)ιώσατοἐντῇπρὸςΒάρβαρονἐπιστολῇ. It may be added that with the grammarians σημείωσαι is used in the sense of ‘ nota bene, ’ and that in the ostraca and papyri σεσημείωμαι is the regular term for the signature to a receipt or formal notice, as when in P.Oxy. 237. 7:29 (2./a.d.) the prefect gives legal validity to the ὑπομνηματισμός by the words ἀνέγνων· σεσημ(είωμαι). μὴσυναναμίγνυσθαιαὐτῷ] lit. ‘ not to mix yourselves together up with him’ (Vg. ne commisceamini cum illo, Beza ne commercium habete cum eo)— the expressive double compound being found elsewhere in the N.T. only in 1 Corinthians 5:9 μὴσυναναμίγνυσθαιπόρνοις: cf. Hosea 7:8 A Ἐφράιμἐντοῖςλαοῖςαὐτοῦσυνανεμίγνυτο. For the corresponding adj. in the Κοινή see P.Oxy. 718, 16 f. (2./a.d.) ἀρούραςτῆςβασιλικῆςσυναναμίγουςεἶναιτῇὑπαρ[χούσῃμοιτῇ. ἵναἐντραπῇ] ‘ in order that he may be put to shame’ (Vg. ut confundatur, Beza ut erubescat), following the late metaphorical sense of ἐντρέπω, cf. Psalms 34. (35.) 4, 1 Corinthians 4:14, Titus 2:8, and from Κοινή the such passages as P.Par. 47, 3 f. (2./b.c.) [ε]ἰμὴμικρόντιἐντρέπομαι, 49, 29 f. (2./b.c.) γίνεταιγὰρἐντραπῆναι. The corresponding subst. ἐντροπή (= αἰσχύνη) is found in 1 Corinthians 6:5; 1 Corinthians 15:34. For its sense of αἰδώς as in class. Gk. (e.g. Soph. Oed. Col. 299) cf. the late magical papyrus P.Lond. 1. 46, 16 f. (4./a.d.) δὸςἐντροπὴντῷφανέντιπρὸπυρός. In the midd. the verb = ‘ reverence,’ and contrary to class, usage is construed in the Bibl. writings with the acc., e.g. Sap. 2:10, Mark 12:6, Hebrews 12:9.
