ὄψις [page 471] In certain proceedings before the Prefect regarding the custody of a child, which strikingly recall 3 Kingd 3 .16 ff. , judgment was given that as the child in question ἐκ τῆς ὄψεως , from its features, appeared to be that of Saraeus, it should be restored to her, P Oxy I. 37 ii. 3 (A.D. 49) (= Selections , p. 51), with which may be compared the use of κατ᾽ ὄψιν in Joh_7:24 . The latter phrase, = in person, is common, e.g. P Oxy VIII. 1154 .4 (late i/A.D.) πρὸ πάντων ὡς ἐνετειλάμην σοι κατ᾽ ὄψιν ἐπιμελοῦ σεαυτῆς above all else, as I enjoined you when with you, take care of yourself (Ed.), P Oxy I. 117 .3 (ii/iii A.D.) κατ᾽ ὄψιν σε παρακέκληκα , ib. XIV. 1665 .4 (iii/A.D.) παρο̣ν̣[τ ]ι̣ σ̣ο̣ι ( l. παρόντα σε ) κατ᾽ ὄψιν ᾐτησάμην , and PSI III. 210 .10 (iv/v A.D.) ὅπως . . αὐτὸν κατ᾽ ὄψιν ἀπολάβωμεν . For a similar use of εἰς ὄψιν cf. Preisigke 4317 .13 ( c. A.D. 200) πολεμεῖ με διότι εἶπόν σοι εἰς ὄψιν . See also the fourth of the so-called Sayings of Jesus, P Oxy IV. 654 .27 ff. λέγει Ἰη (σοῦ )ς· [πᾶν τὸ μὴ ἔμπροσ ]θεν τῆς ὄψεως σου καὶ [τὸ κεκρυμμένον ] ἀπό σου ἀποκαλυφ <θ >ήσεται , Jesus saith, Everything that is not before thy face and that which is hidden from thee shall be revealed to thee. P Fay 133 .11 (iv/A.D.) shows the phrase καθ᾽ αὐτὴν οὖν τὴν ὄψιν , as soon therefore as you see this (Edd.), and for the meaning face, countenance, as in Joh_11:44 , Rev_1:16 , cf. P Giss I. 22 .5 (time of Trajan) τὴν [γλυκυ ]τάτην σου ὄψιν προσκυ [νῆσαι , and the literary P Oxy XI. 1380 .127 (early ii/A.D.) τὴν ἐν Λ [ή ]θῃ ἱλαρὰν ὄψιν , with reference to Isis. The plur. is similarly used in P Amh II. 141 .12 (A.D. 350) ὡς καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὄψεών μοι τὰ οἰδήματα φαίνεται , so that the swellings are apparent even on my face (Edd.) the result of an accident. Αἱ ὄψεις , the eyes, is found in P Oxy VI. 911 .6 (A.D. 233 or 265) ἀσθενῖ τὰς ὄψεις , he has weak sight : cf. Ev. Petr. 3 ἐνέπτυον αὐτοῦ ταῖς ὄψεσι (with Swete s note), Musonius p. 106 .8 , and Vogeser Heiligenlegenden , p. 43. In the remarkable Calendar inscr. Priene 105 .8 ( c. B.C. 9) (= OGIS 458) the birthday of Augustus is described as having given another aspect to the world ἑτέραν τε ἔδω [κεν παντὶ τῷ κόσ ]μῳ ὄψιν : cf. what is said of Gaius Caesar Germanicus Augustus in a decree of Assos of the year A.D. 37, Syll 364 (= 3 797) .8 πᾶν ἔθνος ἐπὶ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ὄψιν ( presence ) ἔσ [π ]ευκεν . The editor understands ὄψις as = dignity or position in P Lond 77 .59 (end of vi/A.D., see Chrest. II. 319) (= I. p. 234) κατὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ὄψιν καὶ ὑπόλημψιν . The compound κάκοψις (not in LS) occurs in P Lips I. 1 .9 (B.C. 104) and P Grenf II. 28 .4 (B.C. 103), and for a new adj. ἐνόπιος see P Par 63 .36 (B.C. 164) (= P Petr III. p. 20) τηλικούτων διαστολῶν γεγονυιῶ [ν ὑμῖ ]ν καὶ ἐνοπίοις καὶ διὰ γραμμάτων , extensive explanations having been given to you both face to face and in writing. A Hebraism ἡ ὄψις τῆς γῆς , the eye of the earth, is found in Exo_10:5 ; Exo_10:15 , Num_22:5 ; Num_22:11 . MGr ὄψι , countenance.
