παράδοξος [page 483] unexpected (as in Luk_5:26 , cf. Aristeas 175) readily passes into the meaning wonderful, admirable. In this latter sense it was applied to one who was victor in both πάλη and πένταθλον (see Meyer on P Harnb I. 21 .3 ), and occurs as an athletic title in P Lond 1178 .54 (A.D. 194) (= III. p. 217) πύκτου ἀλείπτου παραδόξου , and .56 παλαιστοῦ παραδόξου , also P Oxy XIV. 1759 (ii/A.D.) where Demetrius wishes Theon, an athlete, 4 νικᾶν πάντοτε , and concludes with the greeting .10 ἔ ]ρρωσό μοι , παράδοξε . The word is used as a proper name in BGU II. 362 xiv. 10 (A.D. 215), and probably P Oxy IX. 1205 .4 (A.D. 291). For the adv. cf. OGIS 383 .20 (mid. i/B.C.) κινδύνους μεγάλους παραδόξως διέφυγον .
