Carl and Iver,
Another case where the reflexive pronoun is used in this manner is
found in the Test.Joseph (Test. Twelve Patriarchs)
15.3.1
Καὶ πάλιν ἤθελον 2 δακρῦσαι,
καὶ ἐπέσχον ἐμαυτόν, ἵνα μὴ
αἰσχύνω τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου.
15.3.1
KAI PALIN HQELON 2 DAKRUSAI,
KAI EPESCON EMAUTON, hINA MH
AISCUNW TOUS ADELFOUS MOU.
Here EPESCON EMAUTON is somwhat similar to TARASSEIN hEAUTON.
