Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὅλος. P Grenf II. 773° (iti/iv a.D.) (= Selections, p. 121) τῆς ὅλης δα[πά]νης, “the whole outlay,” P Oxy VI. 903* (iv/A.D.) ἐπὶ ὅλας ἑ[πτ]ὰ ἡμέρας, ‘for seven whole days,” and Priéene 112°5 (after B.c. 84) διὰ τοῦ χειμῶνος ὅλου, «ἐ during the whole winter”’ (cf. Lk 5°). See also P Thead 351 (A.D. 299), where, at the end of a deed of sale, the vendor announces—typaa τὰ ὅλα. With the use of ὅλος in Jn 9*4, 131°, we may compare P Fay 1198 (c. A.D. 100) χόρτον σαπρὸν καὶ ὥλον (1. ὅλον) λελυμένον, ‘rotten hay, the whole of it decayed” (Edd.). Other exx. are P Tebt I. 3315 (B.C. 112) (= Selections, p. 31), where the instructions for the entertainment of a Roman visitor are summed up in the words—rd δ᾽ ὅλον ἐπὶ πάν[των] τὴν μεγίστην φροντίδα
