ἥμισυς (~ ἥμισυ ) [page 280]
P Petr II. 11 (1) .5 (iii/B.C.) (= Selections , p. 7) ἀπὸ τούτου (a sum of 70 drachmae) τὸ μὲν ἥμυσυ εἰς τὰ δέοντα ὑπελιπόμην : the word is almost always so written in papyri of iii/B.C., while in the two following centuries ἥμυσυ and ἥμισυ occur with almost equal frequency, see Mayser Gr. p. 100 f. Deissmann ( BS , p. 186) gives a number of exx. of the gen. ἡμίσους from Imperial times, and cites ἥμισον μέρος from BGU I. 183 .41 (A.D. 85) as probably from a vulgar form ἥμισος common in Egypt (cf. Jannaris Gr , § 401 b ). For neut. plur. ἡμίση see P Lond 265 .55 (i/A.D.) (= II. p. 261) εἰς ἡμίση . Other exx. of the word from Imperial times are P Ryl II. 76 .5 (late ii/A.D.) τὸ κατ᾽ ἐμὲ ἥμισυ μέρος τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῆς , ib. 168 .12 (A.D. 120) κατὰ τὸ ἥμισυ , by halves, and Meyer Ostr 19 .7 (A.D. 170) Μιῦις σεσ̣η (μείωμαι ) γόμ (ον ) ἕνα ἥμισυ τρίτον , where ἥμισυ is indeclinable as in the variant τὰ ἥμισυ of Luk_19:8 (cf. LXX Tob_10:10 , and see WH Notes .2 , p. 165). Add P Tebt I. 110 .5 (B.C. 92 or 59) πυρῶν ἀρτάβας εἴκοσι τέσσαρες ἥμισυ , 24½ artabae of wheat, BGU I. 290 .13 (A.D. 150) πυροῦ . . . ἀδόλου ἀρτᾶβην μῖαν ἥμισυ , and ib. III. 920 .14 (A.D. 180 1) τῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἀρουρῶν τ [ρ ]ιῶν ἥμισυ τετάρτου καθαρῶν . Also P Oxy II. 277 .4 f. (B.C. 19), a lease of 36Ύ arourae ἀρούρ (ας ) τριάκοντα ἓξ ἥμισυ τέταρτον , the produce of which was to be shared equally ἐφ᾽ ἡμεσίᾳ ( l. ἡμισείᾳ ) between landlord and tenant. Aphaeresis of the initial vowel produces the MGr μισός , μισή , μισό , but in connexion with other numbers (ἥ )μισυ is used, as in P Tebt I. 110 ( v. supra ).
