For the impersonal use in Luke 13:33 cf. P Petr II. 45iii. 8 (B.C. 246) ὡς ἐνδέχεται, ";as far as it is possible,"; and similarly P Giss I. 48.6 (A.D. 202–3); also P Oxy II. 237 viii. 31 (A.D. 186) ὅπερ οὐ καλῶς ἐνδέχετ ̣α ̣ι ̣ εἰ μὴ ἄνωθεν γένοιτο ἀντίγραφα, ";this cannot be done adequately unless copies are made from the beginning"; (Edd.). Cf. also such a phrase as ὡς ἐνδεχομένως in P Petr II . 15 (3).4 (B.C. 241–39). [The meaning of the adv. in Aristeas 41 πρὸς ταύτην τὴν ἐπιστολὴν ἀντέγραψεν ἐνδεχομένως ὁ Ἐλεάζαρος ταῦτα is not clear. Thackeray translates ";to this letter E. replied appropriately as follows"; : Wendland suggests ";so far as he could write Greek,"; the writer excusing the imperfect use of this language by a Jew of Palestine.] Other examples of the verb are P Par 63.41 (B.C. 165) (= P Petr III. p. 20) μετὰ τῆς ἐνδ ̣εχομένης προσοχῆς, ";with fitting care"; (Mahaffy), PSI III. 168.30 (B.C. 118) τὴν ἐνδεχομένην ἔμσκεψιν (l. ἐν -), P Flor II. 173.9 (A.D. 256) καὶ εἴ τι ἄλλο ἐνδέχεται, ";if anything else suits him,"; and from the inscrr. Michel 482.7 (iii/B.C.) τὴν ἐ [ν ]δεχομένην ἐπιμέλειαν ἐποιήσα [ντο κατὰ ] τοὺς νόμους, Syll 929.81 (ii/B.C.) ὅπερ ἐπὶ τῆς ἱερᾶς χώρας οὐκ ἦν ἐνδεχόμενον.
