This diminutive is found several times in P Thead 8 .11 al. (A.D. 306). For a good parallel to the usage in Luk_15:29 , cf. P Hib I. 54 .13 ( c. B.C. 245), where in view of a coming festival, the recipient of the letter is asked κόμισαι δὲ καὶ τὸν ἔριφον παρὰ Ἀριστίωνος καὶ πέμψον ἡμῖν . See also P Oxy II. 244 .10 (A.D. 23) τοὺς ἐπακολουθ (οῦντας ) ἄρνας [κ ]αὶ ἐρίφους , and P Strass I. 24 .49 (a list of cattle A.D. 118) πρόβ (ατα ) ξ̄λ̄ᾱ καὶ αἶγες ὁ̣[μ ]οίως τέλ (ειαι ) ῑ ἔριφος ᾱ .
