An interesting example of this subst. = ";medical treatment,"; a ";cure"; in the sense in which we often use that term, as in Luke 9:11, is found in P Tebt I. 44.6 (B.C. 114) where the writer states that he had been staying in the great temple of Isis ἐπὶ θεραπείαι. . . χάριν τῆς περιεχούσης με ἀρρωστίας, i.e. not ";for devotional purposes,"; but, as the editors alternatively render the phrase in their note, ";for medical treatment on account of the sickness from which I am suffering"; : cf : Wilcken Chrest. I. p. 148 ";zur Kur."; The word is found in the same sense in the new Logion, P Oxy I. 1 recto.13 λέγει Ἰησοῦς, οὐκ ἔστιν δεκτὸς προφήτης ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτ [ο ]ῦ, οὐδὲ ἰατρὸς ποιεῖ θεραπείας εἰς τοὺς γεινώσκοντας αὐτόν. For a similar association with ";healing,"; ";health,"; cf. Preisigke 159 τὸ προσκύνημα Εὐγράφιος παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ἀσκληπιῷ καὶ Ἀμενώθῃ καὶ Ὑγιείᾳ. Μνήσθητι ὑμῶν καὶ παράδος ὑμῖν θεραπείαν, and ib. 1537 b Ἀλέ [ξαν ]δ [ρ ]ος ὁ καὶ Ἀγαθὸς Δαίμων θεραπίας ἐπιτυχὼν ὅλου σώματος χαρίον (l. χαριστήριον) ἀνέθηκεν, ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθῶι. In P Par 31.7 (ii/B.C.) the word is used with reference to the religious service which the Twins render in the Serapeum—πρὸς τῇ θεραπείᾳ τοῦ Σαράπιος καὶ τῆς Ἴσιος. Cf. OGIS 383.10 (mid. i/B.C.) θεραπείαν τε ἀνέγλειπτον καὶ ἱερεῖς ἐπιλέξας σὺν πρεπούσαις ἐσθῆσι Περσικῶι γένει κατέστησα, and ib. .181 προνοούμενος θεραπείας τε καὶ κόσμου πρέποντος ἱερῶν ἀγαλμάτων : also Michel 829.18 (1st half i/B.C.) ἐπεσκεύασα δὲ καὶ τὸ προσκήνιον [καὶ εἰς ] τὴν τῶν ἀγαλμάτων ἐπαγάνωσιν καὶ θ [ε ]ραπείαν ἔδωκα τῇ κατασταθείσῃ ἀρχῇ δραχμὰς διακοσίας ἐνενήκοντα τέττ [α ]ρας.
