P Oxy XII. 1414.4 (A.D. 270–5) ὁ πρύτανις εἶπ (εν)· τὴ ]ν ̣ τ ̣οῦ ἱεροῦ γραφ [ὴ ]ν κ [ατ ]εσκέψασθαι καὶ ὅρον δεδώκατε, ";the prytanis said,‘You examined the list of the temple and fixed a limit.’"; It may be added that W. Schubart (see Deissmann LAE p. 178 n..11) proposes to read κατ [ε ]σκοπούμην for Deissmann’s restoration α ̣ἰδ [υ ]σ ̣οπο ̣[ύ ]μην in BGU III. 846.8 (ii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 94), but the meaning is then far from clear. For the form κατασκοπεύω, as in the LXX (Exodus 2:4 al.), cf. P Tebt I. 230 (late ii/B.C.), and see Anz Subsidia p. 379.
