ἔδαφος. Osi 1262 (Ptol.) ἔχω παρὰ σοῦ τὸ ἐκφόριον καὶ τὸ ἐμβαδικὸν τοῦ ἐδάφους μου ἀμπελῶνος, and similarly P Grenf I. 218 (B.C. 126) ἔδα(φος) ἀμπελώ(νος), P Lond gor’ (B.C. 116-11) (=II. p. 14) ἀπὸ ἐδάφους ἀμπελῶνος. For the plur. = ‘‘lands,” see P Tebt 11. 302° (a.p. 71-2) where certain priests petition against an increase of rent Tots mpoκιμέν]ο[ι]ς ἐδάφεσι ἡμῶν, “on our aforesaid lands,” and P Oxy XII. 1409!® (A.D. 278) πρὸς ἀρδείαν τῶν ἐδαφῶν, * for the irrigation of the fields.” The derived sense of ** buildings” appears in P Oxy 11. 286%* (A.D. 82) σειτικῶν ἐδαφῶν καὶ ἑτέρων, ‘‘granaries and other possessions.” In A/eche/ 59457 (B.C. 279) Td ἔδαφος ὁμαλίσασι the reference is to levelling the floor, and in the late Preisigke 5114° (A.D. 613-40) a house is purchased ἀπὸ ἐδάφο(υ) ἄχρι ἀέρος. Note the gen. in του: Boisacq, p. 215, points out that é was originally a masc. stem in -o- which became a neut. in -e(s) through the influence of ἕδος.
