ποία / ποῖος [pages 522, 524] ποία grass. For the form cf. Moulton Gr. ii. p. 83, and see Syll 803 (= .3 1169) .121 (from the Asclepieum iii/B.C.), where a man with an injured eye describes the cure worked by the god ἐδό ]κει ὁ θεὸς ποίαν τρίψας ἐγχεῖν εἰς τ [ὸν ὀφθαλμόν τι· καὶ ὑγι ]ὴς ἐγένετο . A new word πωολογία , whose meaning is obscure, occurs in P Lille I. 5 .3 al . (iii/B.C.) Crφnert and Wilcken suggest Grόnernte, which has led to a conjecture ( Exp VII. x. p. 566) that in Jas_4:14 ποία may possibly = green herb, rather than be taken as fem. of ποῖος . ποῖος Hort ad 1Pe_1:11 has pointed out that in Mt, Lk, Ac (23:34) and Rev ποῖος loses its classical force of kind, but only with reference to locality (including way) and time. Paul, on the other hand, keeps the proper sense what manner, ( Rom_3:27 al. ), and so probably Jas_4:14 and 1Pe_1:11 ; 1Pe_2:20 . For ποῖος in the weakened sense of what in indirect interrogation, see P Par 60 .7 (B.C. 154) (as read UPZ i. p. 321) ἀπόστιλόν μοι , πόσον ἔχει Πετευσοράπιος καὶ ἀπὸ ποίου χρόνου , P Tebt I. 25 .18 (B.C. 117) διὰ τίνος καὶ ἀπὸ ποίου ἐπιδείγματος , P Amh II. 68 .7 (late i/A.D.) ἀπὸ ποίου ἔτους χερσεύο̣υ̣σ̣ι̣ν̣, BGU II. 619 i. 8 (A.D. 155) ὑ [π ]ὸ τίνων καὶ ἐπὶ ποίοις ὑπάρχουσι , and P Flor II. 254 .15 (A.D. 259) δήλωσόν μοι ἀπὸ ποίου κτήματος αὐτῷ παρέδωκες . MGr ποιός , who? which?
