θεραπεία [page 288] An interesting example of this subst. = medical treatment, a cure in the sense in which we often use that term, as in Luk_9:11 , is found in P Tebt I. 44 .6 (B.C. 114) where the writer states that he had been staying in the great temple of Isis ἐπὶ θεραπείαι . . . χάριν τῆς περιεχούσης με ἀρρωστίας , i.e. not for devotional purposes, but, as the editors alternatively render the phrase in their note, for medical treatment on account of the sickness from which I am suffering : cf : Wilcken Chrest. I. p. 148 zur Kur. The word is found in the same sense in the new Logion, P Oxy I. 1 recto .13 λέγει Ἰησοῦς , οὐκ ἔστιν δεκτὸς προφήτης ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτ [ο ]ῦ , οὐδὲ ἰατρὸς ποιεῖ θεραπείας εἰς τοὺς γεινώσκοντας αὐτόν . For a similar association with healing, health, cf. Preisigke 159 τὸ προσκύνημα Εὐγράφιος παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ἀσκληπιῷ καὶ Ἀμενώθῃ καὶ Ὑγιείᾳ . Μνήσθητι ὑμῶν καὶ παράδος ὑμῖν θεραπείαν , and ib. 1537 b Ἀλέ [ξαν ]δ [ρ ]ος ὁ καὶ Ἀγαθὸς Δαίμων θεραπίας ἐπιτυχὼν ὅλου σώματος χαρίον ( l. χαριστήριον ) ἀνέθηκεν , ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθῶι . In P Par 31 .7 (ii/B.C.) the word is used with reference to the religious service which the Twins render in the Serapeum πρὸς τῇ θεραπείᾳ τοῦ Σαράπιος καὶ τῆς Ἴσιος . Cf. OGIS 383 .10 (mid. i/B.C.) θεραπείαν τε ἀνέγλειπτον καὶ ἱερεῖς ἐπιλέξας σὺν πρεπούσαις ἐσθῆσι Περσικῶι γένει κατέστησα , and ib. .181 προνοούμενος θεραπείας τε καὶ κόσμου πρέποντος ἱερῶν ἀγαλμάτων : also Michel 829 .18 (1st half i/B.C.) ἐπεσκεύασα δὲ καὶ τὸ προσκήνιον [καὶ εἰς ] τὴν τῶν ἀγαλμάτων ἐπαγάνωσιν καὶ θ [ε ]ραπείαν ἔδωκα τῇ κατασταθείσῃ ἀρχῇ δραχμὰς διακοσίας ἐνενήκοντα τέττ [α ]ρας .
