ἀκρίβεια [page 19] P Par 63 ii. 45 (ii/B.C.) μετὰ πάσης ἀκριβείας , τὴν ἐκτ [ε ]νε [σ ]τάτην [ποι ]ήσασθαι πρόνοιαν combines some characteristic Lucan and Pauline words. P Lond 121 841 (iii/A.D.) ( = I. p. 111), has ἐπ᾽ ἀκριβίας , an adverbial phrase like ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας . A rather literary document, an advocate s speech for prosecution suspected by the editors of being a rhetorical exercise contains the sentence ἄμεινον δ᾽ αὗται καὶ σαφέστερον τὴν περὶ τοῦτο ἀκρείβειαν καὶ τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν Μαξίμ [ο ]υ δηλώσουσιν (P Oxy III. 471 11 ff. , ii/A.D.), which the editors translate, These letters will still better and more clearly exhibit Maximus exactness and care in this matter. Near the end of the petition of Dionysia (P Oxy II. 237 viii. 39 , A.D. 186) we have μετὰ πάσης ἀκρειβείας φυλασσέσθωσαν ( sc. αἱ ἀπογραφαί ); and in P Petr III. 36 ( a ) verso 26 f. a prisoner complains to the Epimeletes that it was on account of the punctiliousness of his predecessor in office that he had been confined [ἀ ]κ̣ρ̣ι̣βείας ἕνεκεν ἀπήχθην . The verb ἀκριβεύειν , to get exact instructions, appears in P Amh II. 154 7 (vi/vii A.D.) ἐὰν μὴ ἀκριβεύσωμαι ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν περὶ ἑκάστου πράγματος : Crφnert s earliest citation for this verb is Barnabas 2 .10 . It may be formed by association with ἀκρίβεια , by the influence of the close relation of -εια and -εύω .
