SYN.: ὁλόκληρος (q.v.), τέλειος. "As regards meaning, ὁλόκληρος can hardly be distinguished from ὁλοτελής though, in accordance with its derivation, it draws more special attention to the several parts to which the wholeness spoken of extends, no part being wanting or lacking in completeness" (M, Th., 78).
Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὁλοτελής ποιουμένου τοῦ εὐδοκοῦν[ τ]ᾳ τὸν ἄνδρα κατασταθῆίναι, ‘in general take the greatest pains in everything that the visitor may be satisfied” (Edd.), P Ryl II. 13318 (a.p. 33) ἐξ οὗ κινδυνεύει TO ὅλωι ἐξαρθῆνα[ι, “ whereby there is a risk of its (viz. a dam’s) being entirely carried away’’ (Edd.), and 26. 15214 (A.D. 42) Tots ὅλοις ἠφάνισαν, ‘utterly destroyed it,” of damage done by an inroad of sheep. In P Oxy VI. 936° (iii/A.D.) οὐδὲ Φιλόξενον 8X ἐξ ὅλων οὐχ εὗρον, the editors render, ‘‘I have entirely failed to find Philoxenus,” and compare 74. 893° (vi/vii A.D.) οὐδέν[α] λόγον ὑπὲρ οἱασδήποτε ὅλον TO σύνολον πράγματος, “no ground of complaint on any matter of any kind whatsoever.” For the interchange of ὅλος and πᾶς cf. P Tebt II. 4184 (iii/A.D.) πρὸ τῶν ὅλων TO προσκύνημά σου ποιῶ, for the usual πρὸ πάντων, P Lond 4o4!® (c. A.D. 346) (-- 11. p. 305) ἀσπάfopar . . . πάντας τοὺς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ὅλους κατ᾽ ὄνομα, and P Jand 13°° (iv/A.D.) πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοί σου κατ᾽ ὄνομα ὅλ[οι . .. For δι᾿ ὅλου, as in Jn 1958, see P Oxy I. 5319 (A.D. 316) where a persea tree is reported on as διόλου ξηραντῖσαν, ‘quite dried up.” Διόλου is found in Cercidas (ili/B.c.), and survives in MGr. In MGr ὅλος in many districts takes the form οὕλος (Thumb Hazadtook, p. 97), which is similar to the Ionic and Epic form οὖλος, from *oMFo-s: cf. Lat. salvus, solidus (Boisacq, Ρ- 699). We may add that the compound ὁλοσχερής is fully illustrated in Linde ΚΖ 22. p. 13 f.: for the adv. see Cicero ad Att. vi. 5. 2.
