P Oxy III. 4879 (A.D. 156), where a petitioner states that he had been appointed guardian to two minors seeing that neither on their father’s nor on their mother’s side had they any other persons who could undertake the duty from ties of kinship—ek {x} τῆς συνγενίας αὐτῶν, and P Bouriant 2519 (v/A.D.) προσαγόρευε πᾶσαν τὴν συγγένειαν “ἡμῶν. See also the sepulchral inscr. Sy// 895 (= 51245)" (iii/A.D.) ὃ πατήρ pe ἀνέστησε ἥρωα συνγενείας (cum Lave familiaré Romanorum—Ed.).
