λαξευτός [page 370] The verb λαξεύω (LXX) is restored by the editors with great probability in a contract with stonecutters P Oxy III. 498 .29 (ii/A.D.) τὰ δὲ προκείμενα πάντα α̣[ . . . λα ]ξ̣[εύσο ]μεν , all the aforesaid stones we will cut : cf. also P Thead 14 .23 (iv/A.D.) τ ]ὸ ἐκτὸς ἐλάξευται in a very mutilated context. Λάξος (not in LS 8 ), a stone-mason, is fairly common in the papyri, as e.g. in the early i/A.D. alphabet acrostic P Tebt II. 278 .11 κλειτοποίς λάξος μυλοκόπος , locksmith, mason, millstone-maker, and in the census-return P Oxy XII. 1547 .16 (A.D. 119) λάξος οὐ (λὴ ) ποδὶ ἀρισ (τερῷ ) : cf. also P Amh II. 128 .80 (A.D. 128) with the editors note. For the subst. λαξεία (not in LS 8 ), see P Oxy III. 498 .6 ( ut s. ) ἐπιδεχόμεθα λαξείαν τῶν οἰκοδομουμένων λίθων κύβων , we undertake to cut the squared building-stones (Edd.), and for the adj. λαξικός (also unknown to LS 8 ), ib. .34 ὑπουργίας λαξικῆς , services in stone-cutting (Edd.). In P Fay 44 .6 (B.C. 16?) τὰ λαξικά is the tax paid by a mason on his trade.
