This verb, followed by an inf. as in Acts 9:38, is found in a weakened sense, as an epistolary formula, e.g. P Eleph 13.7 (B.C. 223–2) (= Witkowski.2, p. 43) εὐχαριστήσεις οὖμ μοι σαυτοῦ τε ἐπιμελόμενος καὶ μὴ ὀκνῶν γράφειν ἡμῖν, PSI VI. 621.6 (iii/B.C.) σὺ δὲ καλῶς ποιήσεις μὴ ὀκνῶν γράφειν πρὸς ἡμᾶς πᾶν γὰρ τὸ δυνατὸν καὶ προθύμως καὶ ἀόκνως ποιήσομεν, P Oxy VI. 930.1 (ii/iii A.D.) μὴ ὄκνι μοι [γ ]ράφιν, and ib. XIV. 1769.7 (iii/A.D.) μὴ ὀκνήσις οὖν προσελθῖν αὐτῷ περὶ οὗ ἐὰν χρῄζῃς. See also Field Notes, p. 118, and Proclus de forma epistolari in Hercher Epist. Gr. p. 8ε ὀκνῶ γὰρ εἰπεῖν εἰς μοχθηρίαν. A stronger sense is seen in P Giss I. 79i. 6 (c. A.D. 117) εἰ δυνατόν μ [οι ] ᾖν διατρ [έ ] χ [ει ]ν πρὸς τὴν οἰκονομίαν τῶν ̣ ἡ ̣με ̣τ ̣έρων, οὐκ ἂν ὠ [κ ]νήκειν, and P Oxy XIV. 1775.8 (iv/A.D.) οὐκ ὤκνη ̣σ ̣α ̣ οὔτε πάλιν ἠμέλησα. A good ex. of the thought of Ephesians 5:12 is afforded by Menander Fragm. p. 186, No. 619—
χαλεπόν γε τοιαῦτ᾽ ἐστὶν ἐξαμαρτάνειν,
ἃ καὶ λέγειν ὀκνοῦμεν οἱ πεπραχότες.
