The word is naturally common in those personal descriptions with which the papyri have made us so familiar, e.g. BGU III. 975° (A.D. 45) (= Selections, p. 42) οὐλ]ὴ μετόπο ἀριστερὸ (/. μετώπῳ ἀριστερῷ), ‘‘a scar on the left forehead,” P Oxy I. 72 (A.D. g0) οὐ(λὴ) μετώπί(ῳ) μέσῳ, and P Fay 917° (A.D. 99) οὐλὴ μετόπωι ἐγ δεξιῶν. MGr μέτωπο. μέχρι, μέχρις. Μέχρι is used prepositionally (1) of ¢zme c. gen.—P Tebt I. 507° (B.C. 112-1) μέχρι τοῦ νῦν, ‘Sup to the present i
