ἔθω. P Hib I. 77° (B.c. 249) καὶ πρότερον εἰώθει, P Oxy VII. 1024%4 (A.D. 129) ἣν καταθήσεται εἰς τὴν γῆν ὑγιῶς ἐπακολουθούντων τῶν εἰωθότων, “πὸ shall sow it on the land in good faith under the observance of the usual officers” (Ed.), P Giss I. 808 (iii/A.D.) τὰ [π]Ἰεριστερίδι[α καὶ ὀ]ρνυθάρια, ἃ otk ἤωθα ἐσθεῖν (1. ἐσθίειν), πέμψον, P Thead 19° (iv/A.D.) τοὺς ἀδικουμένους ὀρφανο[ύς], ἡγέμων δέσποτα, ἐκδικεῖν εἴωθεν τὸ μεγαλεῖον τὸ σόν. εἰ. The weakening of the distinction between εἰ and ἐάν in Hellenistic Greek is seen not only in the use of ἐάν with the indicative (see s.v. ἐάν), but in the occasional use of εἰ with the subjunctive, as P Ryl 11. 234% (ii/a.D.) λέγοντος μὴ δύνασθαι ἀπο[χ]ωρῆσαι, εἰ μὴ ἀντιφωνηθῇ, “1 stated that I could not leave without an answer” (Edd.), and the inscr. of Mopsuestia in Cilicia in Waddington /xscriptions ili. 2, No. 1499 (Imperial) ἐκτὸς et μὴ (cf. 1 Cor 14°) [ἐϊὰν Mayva μόνη θε[λή]σῃ (cited by Deissmann 4S p. 118).

For εἴ γε μή see the Imperial edict, P Fay 20°, where the Emperor, now identified with Julian (A7chzz ii. p. 169), states—el ye μὴ τὸ τῆς π[α]ρὰ τοῖς καὶ τοῖς δημοσίας ἀπορίας ἐμποδὼν ἦν, “Sif the fact of the public embarrassment existing in various parts had not stood in my way” (Edd.), I would have made a more conspicuous display of magnanimity, etc. Et μή = ἀλλά, as in Gal 17, may be illustrated from the vi/A.D. OG/S 20129 οὐκ ἀφῶ αὐτοὺς καθεσθῆναι εἰς τὴν σκιάν, εἰ μὴ ὑπὸ ἡλίου ἔξω (where see Dittenberger’s note) : for the more regular usage cf. P Tebt IT. 4149 (ii/a..) t μὴ ὅτι ἠσθένηκα, πάλαι πεπόνφην σοι, ‘had it not been for the fact that I was ill, I should have sent them to you long ago’ (Edd.), and P Ryl 11. 163}0 (a.D. 139) πλὴν εἰ μὴ... [ἀφισ]τάνειν pe αὐτὸν παραχρῆμα ἰδίοις μου ἀναλώμασι, ‘otherwise I will repel him forthwith at my own expense” (Edd.): see also Proleg. p. 171. Instances of et δὲ μή ye will be found s.z. ye. In the illiterate P Oxy I. 1198 (ii/iii A.D.) (= Sevectzons, p- 103) ἂμ μὴ θέλῃς ἀπενέκαι ple], ταῦτα ye[(]vere, ap μή -εἰ οὐ (see Blass Hermes xxiv. p- 312). For the emphatic εὕπερ, ‘‘if indeed,” cf. P Hal I. γ᾽ (B.c. 232) Πτολεμαίωι δὲ διά[σ]τειλαι, εἴπερ μὴ Tov βυβλιαφόρον καὶ τὸν ἔφοδον ἐκπέπει[κα]ς, P Lond 4255 (8.6. 168) (=I. p. 31, Selections, p. 11) κα[λῶ]ς ποιήσεις. .. παραγ[εν]όμένος εἰς τὴν πόλιν, εἴπερ μὴ ἀναγκαιότερόν σε] περισπᾶι, “‘please return to the city, unless indeed something most pressing occupies you,” P Fay 1241 (ii/a.p.) εἴπερ εἰ καὶ γράμματᾳ μὴ ἦν, ἀλλὰ τοῖ[ς] θ[εο]195] ἐστιν χάρις ὅτι οὐδεμία ἐστὶν πρόλημψις ἡμεῖν γεγενημένη κτὰλ., “Seven if there were no documents, still, thank heaven, there is no preconceived principle on our part,” etc. (Edid.) the late P Oxy VI. 942° (vi/vii A.D.) Kal 6 θεὸς οἶδεν εἴπερ μὴ ἤμεθα ἀπολύσαντες τὰ ζῷα, εἰ δ᾽ αὐτὰ εἴχαμεν ἐπαναλῦσαι, ‘God knows whether we had not released the aniSee also mals, and whether we had any more to unloose ” (Edd.). With the construction in Lk 224 where εἰ βούλει forms the protasis followed by an apodosis introduced by the inf. = imperative προσένεγκαι, may be compared a iv/B.c. letter, reprinted by Deissmann LAZ p. 149, στέγασμα εἴ τι βόλεστε ἀποπέμψαι, “if ye be willing, sen’ me some covering”: see the translator’s note. εἶ μήν, which is well attested in Heb 615, is best understood as an orthographical variation of ἣ μήν. The spelling is fully established after iii/B.c.: cf. e.g. Sy// 578° (iii/B.c.) εἶ μὰν μηθὲν νοσφίζεσθαι, 73. 653°? (a ‘‘ Mysteries” inscr.— B.C. 91) ὁρκιζόντω τὸν γυναικονόμον ἐπὶ τῶν αὐτῶν ἱερῶν, εἰ μὰν ἕξειν ἐπιμέλειαν κτὰ., P Tebt I. 2215 (8.6, 112) ὀμν[ύ]ομεν τοὺς θεοὺς εἶ μὴν μετρῆσ[αι] Kd[t]vos τὰ ἐκφόριά σου ἀπολέγοντος αὐτόν, 10. 7815 (B.C. 110-8) ὀμνύω]: .. εἶ μὴν [ἐπιδ]εδωκέναι τὸ προκείμενον προσάγγελμα, BGU II. 543° (B.C. 28-7) ὄμνυμι Καίσαρα Αὐτοκράτορα Θεοῦ υἱὸν εἶ μὴν παραχωρήσειν ἐπάναγκον Σωχάρμωι .. τὸν ὑπάρχοντά 2 εἰδωλεῖον μοι κλῆρον. See further Deissmann BS p. 205 ff., Proleg. Ρ. 46. εἰδέα. This poetic form, which in the NT is confined to Mt 28%, is found in P Gen I. 16% (A.D. 207) ( = Chrest I. p. 477) καὶ διὰ αὐτὸ τ[ο]ῦτο τὸ (om.) μέρος πάντα τὰ ὑποστέλλοντα τῇ κώμῃ πάμπολλα ὄντα ἀποδ[ί]δοται ἕνεκ[α)] τοῦ μὴ ἔχιν τὴν κώμην μήτε ἰδι[ω]τικὴν γῆν μήτε βασ[ιλ]ικὴν μηδὲ ἄλλην εἰδέαν. εἶδον, (--δα). P Tebt IT. 4175 (iii/A.D.) ὕπαγε πρὸς τὸν Μῶρον kal εἰδὲ τί λέγει περὶ τῆς Avtivdov, ‘go to Morus and see what he says about Antinoé” (Edd.). For the form εἶδα (as in Mk 21? al., cf. Blass Gr. p. 45), see eg. the /be//us P Meyer 1515 (A.D. 250) εἴδαμέν σε θυσιάζοντα, and on εἶδον written ἴδον. see Pyoleg. p. 47. The verb is used without an obj. in such wall-scratchings as Predsigke 1822 Κύριλλος εἶδεν, 1828 ᾿Ανδ]ρόνικος [. . . ]vos tov καὶ ἐθαύμασα. See also τ ὦ. opaw.
