";broad."; In P Par 10.19 (B.C. 145) a reward is offered for a fugitive slave who is described as μεγέθει βραχύς, πλατὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ὤμων. Cf. P Fay 115.17 (A.D. 101) a strap στερῆν (l. στερεὸν) καὶ πλατύ, ";strong and broad,"; P Flor III. 333.11 (ii/A.D.) μέχρι πλατείας πύλης, and P Ryl II. 169.16 (A.D. 196–7) πλατέων ἄρτων, ";flat loaves."; In P Lond 880.23 (B.C. 113) (= III. p. 9) we should read, according to P Strass II. 85.22 note, πλατεῖα ὁδὸς τῶν θεῶν : cf. Matthew 7:13. This prepares us for the use of πλατεῖα as a subst. with or without any special name of the ";street"; or ";public square"; attached, e.g. P Oxy I. 51.15 (A.D. 173) ἐ ]π᾽ ἀμφόδου Πλατείας, ";in the Broad Street quarter,"; ib. VI. 937.11 (iii/A.D.) παραγγέλλω σοι. . . ἵνα παραβάλῃς πρὸς τῇ πλατείᾳ του θεάτρου, ";I bid you go to the street of the theatre,"; and P Amh II. 98.3 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐπ ̣[ὶ ] τ ̣η ̣̣ν Σαραπιακ (ὴν) πλατ (εῖαν). Herwerden (Lex. s.v.) cites a Christian sepulchral inscr. IGSI 325.1 ἅπασα γεα καὶ πλατοὶς (l. πλατὺς) ἀὴρ γεν (ν)ᾷ σοι, θάνατε, but the reference appears to be wrong. See also Herodas VI. 53 τὴν πλατεῖαν ἐκβάντι, ";as one leaves the Broad"; (with Headlam’s note). MGr πλατεῖα, ";piazza,"; ";square.";
