οὔτε. P Petr III. 53 (7)® (iii/B.c.)

A good ex. of οὔτε. . . οὔτε is afforded by the well-known boy’s letter, P Oxy I. 1198 (ii/iii a.p.)

Liddell-Scott-Jones — Greek-English Lexicon
οὔτε (oute) — neither. οὔτε, adverb, (οὐ, τε) joining negative clauses, as τε joins positive, but rare in the simple sense and not, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; οὔτε γὰρ ἐκείνους διδόναι, Latin neque enim, [Refs]; and occasionally in later writers, [Refs 4th c.BC+]
II. mostly repeated, οὔτε.., οὔτε.. neither.., nor.., Latin neque.., neque.., [Refs 8th c.BC+], as οὔτ᾽ ἂρ.., οὔτε..; οὔτ᾽ ἂρ.., οὔτ᾽ ἂρ..; οὔτ᾽ ἄρ τε.., οὔτ᾽ ἄρα.. [Refs 8th c.BC+]; οὔτ᾽ ἄρ.., οὔτε τι.., or οὔτε τι.., οὔτε..,[Refs 8th c.BC+]; so too οὔτε.., οὔτε μὴν.. [Refs 5th c.BC+]
II.2. frequently used to divide up a general negation into two or more parts, ὡς δ᾽ ἐν ὀνείρῳ οὐ δύναται φεύγοντα διώκειν, οὔτ᾽ ἂρ ὁ τὸν δύναται ὑποφεύγειν οὔθ᾽ ὁ διώκειν [Refs 8th c.BC+]: without a negative preceding, [Refs 8th c.BC+]
II.3. within one of the two clauses distinguished by οὔτε a subordinate part may be introduced by οὐδέ, οὔτε γὰρ ἐκ σκίλλης ῥόδα φύεται οὐδ᾽ ὑάκινθος (οὐθ᾽ codices), οὐ δέ ποτ᾽ ἐκ δούλης τέκνον ἐλευθέριον [Refs 6th c.BC+] nor yet incantations, [Refs 5th c.BC+] after clauses with μήτε, μήτε παιδεία μήτε δικαστήρια μήτε νόμοι μηδὲ ἀνάγκη μηδεμία [Refs]; so οὐδέ (μηδέ) may sometimes follow a single οὔτε (μήτε), οὐδέ ποτέ σφιν οὔτε τι πημανθῆναι ἔπι δέος, οὐδ᾽ ἀπολέσθαι neither to suffer misery, nor yet to die, see reading in [Refs 8th c.BC+]; but this cannot be done in some cases, as οὔτ᾽ ἂν ὑπό γε ἑνὸς.. πάθοι, ἴσως δ᾽ οὐδὲ ὑπὸ πλεόνων [Refs 8th c.BC+]; by οὐδὲ μήν, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; οὐδ᾽ αὖ, see above—But οὔτε (μήτε) cannot be used simply answering to οὐδέ (μηδέ), see at {μηδέ} [Refs 4th c.BC+]
II.4. οὔτε may be followed by a Posit. clause with τε, οὔτ᾽ αὐτὸς κτενέει, ἀπό τ᾽ ἄλλους πάντας ἐρύξει he both will not kill and will defend, [Refs 8th c.BC+]: sometimes the negative is added after the τε, οὔτ᾽ ὦν.. καρπὸν ἔδωκαν ἄρουραι, δένδρεά τ᾽ οὐκ ἐθέλει.. φέρειν [Refs 5th c.BC+].. is uncertain in [Refs 5th c.BC+], but is found in later writers, as [Refs 2nd c.AD+]
II.5. οὔτε is frequently, by anacoluthon, followed not by a second οὔτε, but by some other Particle, as by οὐδέ, see above 3; by δέ alone, [Refs 8th c.BC+]
II.5. b in Poets, οὐ sometimes follows without any conjunctive Particle, οὐκ ἦν ἀλέξημ᾽ οὐδὲν οὔτε βρώσιμον, οὐ χριστόν, οὔτε πιστόν [Refs 4th c.BC+]; οὔτε πλινθυφεῖς δόμους.. ᾖσαν, οὐ ξυλουργίαν[Refs 5th c.BC+]: so also in the Prose of [Refs 5th c.BC+]
II.5. c in Poets also οὔτε is sometimes replaced by οὐ, οὐ νιφετὸς οὔτ᾽ ἂρ χειμὼν πολὺς οὔτε ποτ᾽ ὄμβρος [Refs 8th c.BC+]
II.5. d the former οὔτε is sometimes omitted, ναυσὶ δ᾽ οὔτε πεζὸς ἰών [Refs 5th c.BC+]; νόσοι δ᾽ οὔτε γῆρας[Refs 4th c.BC+]
II.6. when οὔτε and μήτε correspond, each retains its proper sense, ἀναιδὴς οὔτ᾽ εἰμὶ μήτε γενοίμην neither am I shameless, nor may I become so, [Refs 4th c.BC+]
