ἐμφανής. The phrase ἐν τῷ ἐμφανεῖ is found in P Hib I. 93$ (c. B.C. 250) where a man, acting as surety, undertakes to produce his friend ἐν] τῶι ἐμφανεῖ ἔξω ἱεροῦ κα[ὶ πάσης] σκέπης, ‘openly, outside of a temple or any other shelter,” and similarly P Oxy IV. 785 (c. A.D. 1) and the other citations in P Hamb I. p. 121 π΄. The quasi-legal use of the adj. may be further illustrated from BGU IV. 1145*° (8.6. 5) ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἡ Διδύμη μὴ π[αρ]έχηται τὴν] Δύκαν καὶ Διονύσιον τῷ ᾿Αχιλί(λεῖ) ἐνφανεῖς, εἶναι καὶ αὐ(τὴν) ἀγωylun(v), P Oxy II. 260! (A.D. 59) ἔσασθα[ι ἐμ]φανῆ τῷ Laparlwvo[s] ἀρχιδικαστοῦ [β]ήματι, ‘I will appear at the court of the chief justice Sarapion,” and so 76. X. 1258° (A.D. 45), P Gen I. 28% (A.D. 136) aZ In P Oxy VII. 1021? (A.D. 54) the deceased Emperor Claudius is described as ἐνφανὴς θεός, ‘‘ god manifest” : see further s.v. ἐπιφανής. For a Christian use see the fragment of a lost Gospel, P Oxy IV. 6551®, where the disciples ask the Lord—éte ἡμῖν ἐμφανὴς ἔσει kal πότε σε ὀψόμεθα ; and receive the answer—étay ἐκδύσησθε καὶ μὴ αἰσχυνθῆτε. The corr. subst. ἐμφανεία may be illustrated from P Grenf II. 621° (A.p. 211) where Demetrius agrees to act as surety μονῆς καὶ éudavlas, ‘‘ for the non-removal and appearance” of Pasis: cf. P Oxy VIII. 11212% 25 (a.D. 295).
