The adj. is very common in descriptions of locality, e. g. P Par 5 i. 8 (B.C. 114) τὸν εἰς Τάγην οἶκον . . . οὗ γείτονες · νότου οἰκία Ἁρπαήσιος , βορρᾶ ψιλοὶ τόποι κτλ ., P Oxy I. 99.7 (A.D. 55) γείτονες τῆς ὅλη [ς οἰκίας , νότου ] καὶ ἀπηλιώτο [υ ] δημόσιαι ῥῦμαι , X. 1276.8 (A.D. 249) τῆς δὲ ὅλης γείτονες νότου ῥύμη τυφλή , ";the adjacent areas of the whole are on the south a blind street"; (Edd.).
