ἀλλότριος —
P Oxy VII. 1067.6 ff. (a very ungrammatical letter of iii/A.D.), μάθε οὖν ὅτι ἀλλοτρίαν γυναῖκαν (l. ἀλλοτρία γυνή ) ἐκληρονόμησεν αὐτόν , ";know then that a strange woman is made his heir"; (Ed.). The adjective is common in the sense of alienus, ";belonging to others"; : one or two special applications may be cited. A rescript of Gordian (P Tebt II. 285.5), which Wilcken marks as suffering from translation out of Latin, uses τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους for ";outsiders,"; as against legitimate children. P Giss I. 67.19 (ii/A.D.) τὸ γὰρ ἀλλ ̣[ότ ]ρ ̣ιο ̣ν ἐποίησα ξυ [ . . . seems to imply ";I did what was foreign to me,"; but the lost context may change this entirely. Ib. 99.6 (ii/iii A.D.) κατὰ τὸ τῶν αὐτο [χθόνω ]ν Αἰγυπτίων ἀλλότρια ̣ ταῦ [τα ἦν ], ἐδρᾶτο δὲ ὅμως . P Tor I. 1viii. 3 (Ptol. Euergetes) προέφερετο ἀλλότριον εἶναι τὸ παρεισαγόμενον ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ . P Oxy II 282.9 (A.D. 30–5) ἡ δὲ ἀλλότρια φρονήσασα τῆς κοινῆς συμβιώ [σεως ], ";became dissatisfied with our union"; (Edd.) : so P Ryl II. 128.10 (c. A.D. 30) ἀλλότρια φρονήσασα ";changed her mind,"; of a mill-hand leaving her work. BGU II 405.13 (A.D. 348), ξένον με εἶναι καὶ ἀλλότριον αὐτῆς , gives the genitive dependent on it, and ib. IV. 1121.22 (B.C. 5) μήτε ἴδια μήτ᾽ ἀλλότρια has the antithesis which characterizes best its meaning.
ἀλλοτριόω —
P Tebt I. 105.38 (B.C. 103) καὶ μὴ ἐξέστω αὐτ [ῶι ] α ̣̓λ ̣λ ̣οτρ ̣[ιοῦν . . . ] τὴν μίσθωσιν . BGU IV. 1024iv. 10 (iv/v A.D.) σὺ δὲ ἐπεβούλευσας σῶμα (l. σώματι ) ἀλλοτρ [ι ]ωθέντι ὑπὸ τοῦ [γ ]ένους τῶν ἀνθρώπων . This last has the sense which in NT is expressed more strongly by the perfective compound ἀπαλλοτριοῦν .
