καλῶς. Michel 163° (B.C. 148-7) καλῶς καὶ ἐνδόξως ἀναστραφείς, . ἢ πάντα καλῶς καὶ πρεπόντως βραβεύσας may serve as exx. of the ordinary usage of this adverb. The epistolary formula καλῶς ποιήσεις, which is practically = ““please,” is very common, and is generally construed with a paratactic participle (cf. 3 Jn®, and in the past Ac 10%, Phil 4": see also 2 Pet 115), e.g. P Hib I. 8217 (B.c. 239-8) καλῶς οὖν [π]οιήσεις συναν[τι]λ[α]μβανόμενος προθύμως περὶ τῶν εἰς ταῦτα συγκυρόντων, ‘please therefore to give your zealous co-operation in all that concerns this” (Edd.), P Amh II, 417° (ii/B.c.) καλῶς οὖν ποήσετε συνπαραστάντες αὐτῶι ἕως ἂν πίο]ήσητία]. τὸν σφραγίισμό]ν, ‘‘ please therefore assist him until he carries out the sealing” (Edd.), BGU II. 596% (a.p. 84) καλῶς ποιήσεις συνελθὼν [ΑἸίλουρίῳνι τῶι κομίζοντί σοι τὸ ἐπ[ι]στ[ό]λιον, P Fay 125% (ii/A.D.) καλῶς [ποιή]σεις, ἄδελφε, μὴ ἀμελήσας το[ῦ] κλήρου τοῦ στρατηγικοῦ, ““γοι will do well, brother, not to neglect the ballot for strategus” (Edd.), and the early Christian letter P Amh I. 3(α) 1.1 (a.p. 250-285) καλῶς οὖν ποιήσαντ[ες] ὠνησάμενο[ι] τὰ ὀθόν[ια, “you will do well, therefore, to purchase the linen cloth.” The construction with the inf. is found in BGU IV. 12037 (B.c. 29) καλῶς ποιήσεις γράψαι : cf. 75. 1078% (A.D. 39) οὐ καλῶς δὲ ἐπόηgas... μὴ σημᾶναί μοι, P Oxy VII. 10678 (very illiterate— ili/A.D.) οὐ καλώς ἔπραξας μὴ ἐλθεῖν, and with εἰ in P Petr II. 11(1)! (iii/B.c.) (= Selections, p. 7) καλῶς ποιεῖς εἰ ἔρρωσαι kal τὰ λοιπά σοι κατὰ γνώμην ἐστίν. One or two miscellaneous exx. of the adverb with ἔχω (cf. [Mk] 1618) may be added—P Petr II. 19(1@)° (Ptol.) οὕνεκα tod θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ καλῶς ἔχοντος, “in the name of God and of fair play” (Ed.), 2. III. 53(/)1° (Ptol.) αὐτῶν ὑμῶν ἕνεκα καὶ ἡμῶν καὶ τοῦ Kadws ἔχοντος, ‘for your own sake and for ours, and in the name of propriety,” PSI IV. 3611 (.c. 251-0) ἐάν σοι [φ]αίνηται καλῶς ἔχειν, γράψον ᾽Αριστάνδρωι περί μου, P Par 407 (B.C. 156) οὔτε τοῦ ἱεροῦ στοχασάμενοι, οὔτε τοῦ καλῶς ἔχοντος, and P Gen I. 548 (iv/A.D.) θέλο σου πάντοτε καλῶς ἔχειν. See also P Oxy II. 2371: 51 (A.D. 186) ὅπερ οὐ καλῶς ἐνδέχεται εἰ μὴ ἄνωθεν γένοιτο ἀντίγραφα, ‘this cannot be done adequately unless copies are made from the beginning” (Edd.). The very rare ἀκάλως is found in P Oxy XIV. 1676” (iii/a.D.) ἐὰν δὲ ἐκτός | pov οὐκ ἀκάλως ἔχῃς, χαίρω ὅτι Kada[s] ἔχεις μέν, “Sif you are not unhappy away from me, I rejoice for your happiness” (Edd.). MGr καλώς τον, “he is welcome.”’
