πρόσφατος [page 552] πρόσφατος , derived from πρός and the root of φόνος , ἔπεφνον etc., means originally fresh-killed (see Boisacq p. 816 for alternative derivations), but the second element in the compound died out quite early, and the word came to be used generally, new, fresh, recent, as e.g. in the medical receipt P Oxy VIII. 1088 .25 (early i/A.D.) ἑλλεβόρου λευκοῦ προσφατώτερον τρίψας , pound fresh some white hellebore (Ed.). In Michel 1501 .24 (B.C. 103 2) τὰς [ἐ ]λ [άας τὰς προσ ]φάτους , the adj. is used of fresh, not salted, olives : cf. Menander Fragm . p. 132 ἐν προσφάτοις ἰχθυδίοις τεθραμμένα , brought up on fresh fish. Phrynichus (p. 374, ed. Lob.) discusses whether in view of the word s etymology it is right to say πρόσφατον πρᾶγμα or only πρόσφατος νεκρός and the like, and finds an answer in a line of Sophocles Andromeda μηδὲν φοβεῖσθε προσφάτους ἐπιστολάς . See also Rutherford NP p. 471 f. and Pearson on Soph. fr . 128.
