οὐχί [page 468] For this strong form of οὐ (οὐκ , οὐχ ), which is found 54 times in the NT and generally in questions (cf. Robertson Gr. p. 1406), we may compare the Alexandrian Erotic Fragment P Grenf I. 1 i. 25 (ii/B.C.) εὐθὺ δεῖ καὶ διαλύεσθαι· οὐχὶ διὰ τοῦτο φίλους ἔχομεν , οἳ κρινοῦσι τίς ἀδικεῖ ; for we must soon be reconciled; to what end else have we friends, who shall judge which of us two is in the wrong? (Ed.). For the non-interrogative use, cf. PSI V. 499 .4 (B.C. 257 6) where a farm-steward asks that money be sent him ἐγλέλοιπε γὰρ ἡμᾶς , καὶ οὐχὶ ἔχομεν χορηγεῖν οὔτε εἰ [ς τ ]ὴν φυτε [ί ]αν τοῦ κρότωνος . . οὔτε εἰς τὴν ξυλοκοπίαν κτλ .
