κακοποιός. An interesting instance of this Petrine adj. is afforded by PSI I. 647! (i/B.c.?), where a woman promises her husband (Ὁ) --- μηδὲ ποι[ή]σειν εἴς σε φάρμακα φίλτρα μηδὲ κακοποιὰ μήτε ἐν ποτοῖς μήτε ἐν βρωτοῖς : cf. especially 1 Pet 415 where the word probably means ‘‘a sorcerer, magician, or poisoner” (Souter Zex. s.v.). See also P Leid ἘΠ ἐπιμαρτυροῦντος μηδενὸς κακοποιοῦ Κρόνου, ἢ "Άρεως.
