P Oxy IX. 1203.24 (i/A.D.) τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς Λεονίδου ἐπὶ τῇ ἡμῶν ἀδικίᾳ πραχθέντα ";done by his father L. to our hurt."; BGU IV. 1123.11 (i/B.C.) μηδ᾽ ἄλλο μηδὲν ἐπιτελεῖν ἐπὶ τῇ τοῦ ἑτέρου ἀδικίᾳ. P Tebt I. 104.23 (B.C. 92) the husband may not alienate the property, ἐπ᾽ ἀδικίαι τῆι Ἀπολλωνίαι. P Magd 14.10 (iii/B.C.) συγγρα ]φὴ ἐπ᾽ ἀδικίαι γεγραμμένη. It is curious that this recurrent combination should not appear in NT (except in 1 Corinthians 13:6, which is quite different), among two dozen instances of the noun. For the concrete sense we find in papyri the neuter ἀδίκιον, which is also Attic, and quotable from Ionic inscriptions : see instances in Mayser Gr. p. 432.
