For ἐ. as a definite period of time, cf. P Hib I. 28.20 (c. B.C. 265) ὑπαρχουσῶν [δὲ εἰ ]ς ̣ [τὸν ] ἐν [ι ]αυτὸν [ἡ ]μ ̣ερω ̣̑[ν τρια ]κοσίων ἑξήκοντα, P Tor I. 1vii. 25 (B.C. 117–6) μὴ συνχωρητέον εἶναι πλείονα ἐνιαυτοῦ ἢ καὶ ἐτῶν δύο ἢ τριῶν, ";a longer period must not be granted than a year or two years or three years,"; P Oxy I. 37.10 (law-suit with reference to a nursing contract—A.D. 49) (= Selections, P. 49) τοῦ πρώτου ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀπέλαβεν τὰ τροφεῖα · ἐνέστηι ἡ προθεσμία τοῦ δευτέρου ἐνιαυτοῦ, ";for the first year she [the nurse] received her wages for nursing : there arrived the appointed day in the second year."; The word is frequently found with εἷς as in P Flor I. 2.212 (A.D. 265) ἐπ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα, and (with the aspirate) P Oxy VIII. 1116.11 (A.D. 363) ἐφ᾽ ἑνιαυτὸν ἕνα : cf. also ib. II. 275.9 (A.D. 66) (= Selections, P. 55) ἐπὶ χρόνον ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα. For other prepositional phrases, cf. P Strass I. 22.32 (iii/A.D.) ᾑ [δ ]ι ̣᾽ ἐνιαυτοῦ νομὴ αὐτάρκης ἐστίν ̣, P Hib I. 27.220 (B.C. 301–240) ἐν τῶι ἐνιαυτῶι, ib. .48 κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτ [όν, P Ryl II. 110.8 (A.D. 259) καθ᾽ ἕκαστ [ο ]ν ἐνιαυτόν, P Thead 16.4 (after A.D. 307) κατὰ τὸν προπέρυσι ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ πέρυσι, ";depuis l’avant-dernière et la dernière année,"; P Flor I. 50.108 (A.D. 268) ἐνιαυτῷ παρ᾽ ἐνιαυτόν, ib. 64.24 (iv/A.D. ad init.?) ἐ ]ν ̣ι ̣αυτὸν παρ᾽ ἐνι ̣αυτόν. In Syll 438.162 (c. B.C. 400) μηδ᾽ ἐν ταῖς δεκάτ [α ]ις, μηδ᾽ ἐν τοῖς ἐνιαυτοῖ [ς, the reference is to ";anniversaries."; Syll 802.3 (iii/B.C.) shows the word along with ἔτος, the heading of a cure effected by Apollo and Asclepios—Κλ ]εὼ πένθ᾽ ἕτη ἐκύησε, being immediately followed by—Αὕτα πέντ᾽ ἐνιαυτοὺς ἤδη κυοῦσα κτλ.
