πλατύς, “broad.” In P Par 10!% (B.c. 145) a reward is offered for a fugitive slave who is described as μεγέθει βραχύς, πλατὺς ἀπὸ τῶν Spwv. Cf. P Fay 11527 (A.D. IOI) a strap στερῆν (1 στερεὸν) kal πλατύ, “strong and broad,” P Flor III. 333% (ii/A.D.) μέχρι πλατείας πύλης, and P Ryl II. 169!° (A.D. 196-7) πλατέων ἄρτων, ‘flat loaves.” In P Lond 880? (B.c. 113) (= III. p. 9) we should read, according to P Strass II. 8523 note, πλατεῖα ὁδὸς τῶν θεῶν : cf. Mt 74%. This prepares us for the use of πλατεῖα as a subst. with or without any special name of the ‘‘street” attached, e.g. P Oxy I. 5145 (A.D. 173) ” or ‘* public square
