1 In Attic Greek ἅπας occurs after consonants and πᾶς after vowels, but this distinction is not maintained in the NT, and there is insufficient evidence to indicate any significant distinction in meaning, though some persons have believed that ἅπας is somewhat more emphatic.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἅπας. P Oxy III. 47177 (ii/a.D.) ἅπαξ γὰρ ἐν ἔθει τῆς α[ἰσἸχύνης γενόμενον, ‘for when once accustomed to his shame ” (Edd.). In P Lond 4178 (c. A.D. 346) (=III. p. 299, Selectzons, p. 124), we find συνχωρῆσε αὐτοῦ τοῦτω τὸ ἅβαξ (= συνχωρῆσαι αὐτῷ τοῦτο τὸ ἅπαξ), “pardon him this once ”—a substantival use of ἅπαξ, which has been traced perhaps to Coptic influence (Deissmann 2.4.8, pp. 206, 209) : cf. below. Note also P Giss I. 4819 (A.b. 202-3) οὐχ ἅπαξ παρεγράφη, “not once alone,” aN ὁποσάκις ἕκαστα προσηνέχθη. and P Oxy VIII. 11028 (ς. A.p. 146) ἐπεὶ ἅπαξ προσῇ[λθε] τῇ κληρονομίᾳ, ‘having once entered on the inheritance” (Ed.). Vettius Valens, p. 2859 has ἅπαξ τε καὶ ἀπαραιτήτως δαμάζουσιν ‘‘in perpetuum” (Ed.). OG/S 201 (vi/A.D.), an inscr. of King Silco of Nubia, which is very instructive for the study of foreigners’ Greek, has ἅπαξ in a curious idiom: thus ἕν ἅπαξ is seme/, τὸ πρῶτον ἅπαξ -primum, ἅπαξ δύο = zs. Dittenberger quotes Lepsius to show that it is an effort to render a Coptic word answering to Ger. Ma, Fr. fois. In P Oxy VIII. 1138" (v/vi A.D.) the words πρὸς ἅπαξ occurring at the end of a receipt are translated ““ once for 411" by the editor, who compares BGU IV.
