";everywhere"; : PSI IV. 382.6 (B.C. 248–7) ξύλα ἐζητήκαμεν πανταχοῦ, BGU IV. 1125.12 (B.C. 13) κύρια ] τὰ διωμολογημένα πανταχοῦ, and ib. III. 942.6 (A.D. 240) κυρία ἡ ἐπὶ λόγου ἀποχὴ πανταχοῦ ἐπιφερομένη ὡς ἐν δημοσίῳ κατακεχωρισμένη.
πανταχῇ —
";everywhere"; (Acts 21:28). For the form with iota subscript, which Moulton prefers (Gr. ii. p. 84; cf. Meisterhans Gr. p. 145), see P Eleph 3.6 (B.C. 284–3), ἡ δὲ συγγραφὴ ἥδε κυρία ἔστω πανταχῆι οὗ ἄν ἐπιφέρηι Ἐλάφιον, and similarly ib. 4.6 (B.C. 284–3), and P Oxy XIV. 1639.21 (B.C. 73 or 44) κυρία [ἡ χ ]εὶρ παντα [χῆ ]ι ̣ ἐπιφερομένη καὶ παντὶ τῶι ἐπιφέ [ρο ]ντι, ";this bond is valid wherever and by whomever it is produced"; (Edd.). The iota is wanting in P Gen I. 35.12 (A.D. 161) πανταχῆ ἐπιφερόμε [νον, and ib. 9i. 15 (A.D. 251).
