ἐγγράφω [page 178]
ἐγγράφω is used as practically equivalent to the simple γράφω in P Lond 358 .15 ( c. A.D. 150) (= II. p. 172) ἐ̣ν̣ε̣τυχ [ον τῷ ] ἡγεμονεύσαντι Ὀναράτ [ῳ ] ὃς ἐνε̣γ̣ρ̣α̣ψέ μοι ἐν̣τυχ [ε ]ῖν κρατίστῳ τῷ ἐπιστρατ [ηγή ]σαντι . For the meaning record see P Cairo Preis 1 .16 (ii/A.D.) ἐὰν γὰρ μηδὲν ἐπερ̣ώτημα ᾖ ἐνγεγρα [μμένον . . . . and for inscribe see PSI I. 28 .40 (iii/iv A.D.?) συντέλεσον τὰ [ἐγγ ]εγραμμένα τῷ πεδάλῳ τούτου ( l. πετάλῳ τούτῳ ). The verbal ἔγγραπτος is common, e.g. P Rein 18 .31 (B.C. 108) δοῦναι δέ μοι τὰς πίστε̣ις δι᾽ ἐγγράπτων , des sϋretιs ιcrites (Ed.), P Tebt II. 434 (A.D. 104) ἔχοντες ἔνγραπτον [ἐπι ]στολήν , and, in contrast with ἄγραφος , P Oxy II. 268 .16 (A.D. 58) περὶ ἄλλου μηδενὸς ἁπλῶς ἐνγράπτου ἢ ἀγράφου πράγματος , and similarly P Ryl II. 174 .20, .32 (A.D. 112) al. A good example of ἔγγραφος is afforded by P Oxy I. 70 .4 (iii/A.D.) πᾶσα κυ̣[ρί ]α ἔνγραφος συναλλαγὴ πίστιν καὶ ἀλήθ [ειαν ἔ ]χει , every valid written contract is credited and accepted (Edd.). On the ἔγγραφος as distinguished from the ἄγραφος γάμος see Chrest. II. i. p. 209 ff. Ἐγγράφως = in writing, P Oxy I. 53 .8 (A.D. 316), ib. III. 475 .8 (A.D. 182), ib. VI. 902 .10, .17 ( c. A.D. 465) al.
Ἐγγράμματος occurs in a woman s petition to a prefect : she claims the right to act without a guardian, in view of the fact, amongst other conditions, that she is ἐνγράμματος δὲ κ̣α [ὶ ἐ ]ς̣ τὰ μάλιστα γράφειν εὐκ̣ο̣π̣ως δυναμένη , literate and able to write with the greatest ease (P Oxy XII. 1467 .13 ff. A.D. 263).
