In the invitation to the celebration of Hadrian’s accession the people are summoned to sacrifice γέλωσι καὶ μέθαις ταῖς ἀπὸ κρήνης τὰς ψυχὰς ἀνέντες (P Giss I. 3 .8 ff). In his note the editor suggests that γέλωσι may refer to the ";Festzug (πομπή ) "; which was customary on such occasions, and refers to Klio vii. p. 285 ff. In MGr γέλοια (plur.) = ";laughter."; See another instance cited under γελάω (P Oxy 471) : add BGU IV. 1141.14 (B.C. 14) καὶ γράψας αὐτῶι ὑβρίσαι με πρὸς γέλωτά μοι τοῦτο ἔγραψας .
