ἀπόθεσις [page 62]
BGU II. 606 .5 (A.D. 306) πρὸς ἀ ]πόθεσιν ἀχύρου . Syll 420 .16 (iv/A.D. init. ) τῇ ἀποθέσει τῶν στεφάνων , the ceremony of resigning a priesthood, the inauguration to which was παράληψις τοῦ στεφάνου (so Ed.). Ἀπόθετος occurs in a petition P Oxy I. 71 ii. 19 (A.D. 303), but unfortunately the passage is much mutilated. With the idea of 2Pe_1:14 we might compare σῶ ]μ᾽ ἀποδυσάμενος in Kaibel 403 .5 (iv/v A.D., but not Christian).
