Cf. also the προσκύνημα Preisigke 4116.9 καὶ μ᾽ ἐξαλείψας ἐπὶ σ᾽ ἐξαλείψας ἐξαλειφθῆναι αὐτῷ τὸ ζῆν, and the Christian prayer P Oxy III. 407.3 (iii/iv A.D.) ἐξαλίψον μου τὰς ἁμαρτίας. For the meaning ";deface,"; ";obliterate,"; see PSI IV. 403.5 (iii/B.C.) τὴμ ̣ μὲν ἐπιστολὴν ἣν ἀπέστειλας οὐκ ἠδυνάμην ἀναγνῶιναι διὰ τὸ ἐξηλεῖφθαι.
