ἁπλῶς [page 58] The adverb is frequent in legal documents to lend emphasis to a statement : P Oxy II. 237 vi. 21 (A.D. 186) ἄλλο ἀδίκημα εἰς αὑτὸν ἁπλῶς , any other single act of injustice against himself, cf. P Flor I. 28 .15 (ii/A.D.) παντὸς ἁπλῶς εἴδους , and similarly P Amh II. 96 .3 (A.D. 213). So with the negative P Lond 1218 .10 (A.D. 39) (= III. p. 130) οὐκ εἶχον ἁπ̣λ̣ω̣̑ς πρᾶγμα , P Oxy II. 268 .16 (A.D. 58) περὶ ἄλλου μηδενὸς ἁπλῶς ἐνγράπτου ἢ ἀγράφου πράγματος , concerning any other matter whatever written or unwritten, ib. VI. 906 .5 (ii/iii A.D.) μηδὲ περὶ ἄλλου μηδενὸς ἁπλῶς μέχρι τῆς ἐνεστώσης ἡμέρας , or on any other subject whatever up to the present day : and the short P Tebt II. 490 (B.C. 92 or 59) μὴ κατεγγύα μηδὲν τὸν Κόμωνος τοῦ Κόμωνος πρὸς μηδὲν ἁπλῶς . In a philosophic letter of iv/A.D., P Oxy I. 120 .3 ff. , the editors translate χρὴ γάρ τινα ὁρῶντα αἱαυτὸν ἐν δυστυχίᾳ κἂν ἀναχωρῖν καὶ μὴ ἁπλῶς μάχαισθαι τῷ δεδογμένῳ , when a man finds himself in adversity he ought to give way and not fight stubbornly against fate. Reference should be made to Hort s abundant illustrations in his note upon Jas_1:5 . [Supplemental from 1930 edition] Exp VIII. iii. p. 374 ff.
