In P Lond 429 (c. A.D. 350) (= I. p. 314 f.) we have a long account of δῶρα made on the occasion of various festivals, which the editor thinks are to be regarded as temple-offerings. If so, we may compare the similar use in the inscrr., e.g. OGIS 407 βασιλεὺς Ἰούλιος Ἐπιφάνης Φιλόπαππος Δεσποίν [αι ] καὶ Σωτίρα [ι ] δῶρον. ἐπὶ ἱερέος Σωτηρίχου, Syll 774 σ ]τρατία ὑπὲρ τῆς ὁράσεως θεᾷ Δήμητρι δῶρον, ib. 787 (iv/iii B.C.) Διὶ δῶρον. This illustrates the common Biblical use of δῶρον for a sacrifice, or an offering to the Temple treasury. For the ordinary sense of δῶρον it will suffice to quote BGU IV. 1114.7 (B.C. 8–7) ἀ ̣π ̣ο ̣καταστῆσαι ἐνταῦθα τῶι Ἱμέρωι δῶρον δούλους (names follow), ib. I. 248.8 (ii/A.D.) κατὰ δῶρον, PSI III. 236.33 (iii/iv A.D.) οὐκ ὀκνῶ γὰρ οὐδὲ περὶ δώρων οὐδὲ περὶ κέρματος, εἰδώς σου τὴν ἀγαθὴν προαίρεσιν, and the boy’s letter, P Oxy I. 119.11 (ii/iii A.D.) (= Selections, p. 103) καλῶς δὲ ἐποίησες, δῶρά μοι ἔπεμψε [ς ], μεγάλα, ἀράκια, ";it was good of you, you sent me a present, such a beauty—just husks!"; One interesting literary inscr. may be quoted, Kaibel 815.4 (ii/A.D.—Crete), where Salvius Menas offers a libation and a sacrifice to Hermes in memory of his wife, ψυχικὰ δῶρα διδούς : the ed. explains this as gifts ";quae pro defunctae uxoris anima Mercurio animarum duci comitique obferuntur.";
