P Giss I. 41% 4 παρὰ τὴν τῶν ἀνοσίων [᾿Του]δαίω[ν ἔφοδον, with the editor's introduction. So P Brem 405 (Trajan) (= Chrest. I. 16) pla ἣν ἐλπὶς Kal λοιπὴ προσδοκία ἢ τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ νομοῦ ἡμῶν ἀθρώων κωμ[η]τῶν πρὸς τοὺς ἀνοσίους *Io[v8alJovs, who had just won a victory. From a later time comes the fragment of a letter in the correspondence of Heroninus (mid. iii/A.p.), P Flor 11. 2688, . . .Jevos ἀνοσείους [. . ., with θεῶν ἐπιτρείπόντων] in the next line, but no other context to help.
