ἄρρωστος [page 79]
Syll 858 .17 (Delphi, in dialect, ii/B.C.) ἀτελὴς ἁ ὠνὰ ἔστω , εἰ μὴ ἄρρωστος γένοιτο Σῶσος . We do not happen to have noticed any instance of the adj. in the papyri, but both verb and subst. are common. For the verb cf. P Petr I. 30(1) .4 (middle of iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 5) τ̣ὸν ὄν [τ ]α̣ ἐν Μέμφει ἀρρωστοῦντα , P Hib I. 73 .15 (B.C. 243 2) εἰ οὖν μὴ ἠρρωστήσαμεν , P Par 49 .31 (B.C. 164 58) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 71) ἀγωνιῶ , μή ποτε ἀρ [ρ ]ωστεῖ τὸ παιδάριον , P Ryl II. 68 .15 (B.C. 89) ω̣[[στε ]] διὰ τὰς πληγὰς ἀρρωστη̣σ̣α̣σα κατακεῖσαι ( i.e. -σθαι ) κινδυνεύουσα τῶι βίωι (which shows that ἀ . may represent something very serious), BGU IV. 1125 .8 (time of Augustus) ἃς ( sc. ἡμέρας ) δὲ ἐὰν ἀρτα̣κ̣τήσηι ( l. ἀτακτήσηι ) ἢι ἀρρωστήσηι . For the subst. see the very interesting petition which the priests of the temple at Socnopaei Nesus present to the Strategus, asking for certain favours at his hands, seeing that in his sickness he was healed by their god ἐπεὶ οὖν σέσωσαι ἐν τῆι ἀρρωστίαι ὑπὸ τοῦ Σοκνοπαῖτος θεοῦ μεγάλου (P Amh II. 35 .32 ) B.C. 132), also P Tebt I. 44 .8 f. (B.C. 114) χάριν τῆς περιεχούσης με ἀρρωστίας , on account of the sickness from which I am suffering, ib. 52 .10 ff. ( c. B.C. 114) δι με ( l. διὰ τό με ) ἐν βαρυ [τέ ]ρᾳ (see Proleg. p. 78) ἀρρωστίᾳ κ̣ι̣ͅσ̣[θαι ] ἐνδεὴς οὖσα τῶν ἀναγ [καίων ], since I am seriously ill, being in want of the necessaries of life (Edd.), and P Hawara 56 .18 ff. (probably late i/A.D.) (= Archiv v. p. 382) μαρτυρήσει δέ σ (οι ) [Ἰ ]σίδωρος , ὅτι ἀρρωστίαν ἰσοθάνατο (ν ) [ἐξ ]ήντλησα . See also Syll 490 .6 (iii/B.C.) ἐν [π ]ετό [ν ]των πολλῶν ἄγ [αν ὀλεθρί ]ων [ἀρρω ]στ [η ]μάτων καὶ τῶν ἰατρῶν τῶν [δαμ ]οσ [ιευόν ]των ἐν τᾶι πόλει ἀρρωσστησάντων . The adj. is MGr, as are the derived verb and noun.
