εὔσημος [page 266]
εὔσημος , like ἄσημος ( q.v. ), is used in personal descriptions with reference to any distinguishing marks, as in P Petr I. 19 .14 (B.C. 225) ο ]ὐλῇ εὔσημος μετώπωι μέσ [ωι , P Flor III. 316 .8 (ii/A.D.) Πασίωνι . . . εὐσήμωι ὀ [φθαλ ]μῷ δεξιῷ . From the inscrr. we may cite OGIS 90 .43 (the Rosetta stone B.C. 196) ὅπως δ᾽ εὔσημος ἦι νῦν τε καὶ εἰς τὸν ἔπειτα χρόνον , and ib. 665 .13 (A.D. 49) βούλομαι οὖν [σ ]ε . . . καθ᾽ ἕ [καστον τόπο ]ν αὐτὸ (a decree) προθεῖναι σαφέσι καὶ εὐσήμοις [γράμμασιν . For the adv. = legibly see P Par 62 ii. 7 ( c. B.C. 170) and cf. P Oxy IX. 1188 .5 (A.D. 13) προσανένε (γκε ) εὐ̣σ̣ή (μως ), report clearly. In P Tebt I. 14 .11 (B.C. 114) the editors render εὐσήμως in detail with reference to various items in a report on certain property.
