P Oxy X. 1272.12 (A.D. 144) καὶ τὴν τοῦ πεσσοῦ θύραν ἐπηρ [μ ]ένην ";and that the door of the terrace had been lifted"; (Edd.). Syll 737.24 (ii/A.D.)

As illustrating the Jewish (Psa. 28꞉2 [MT Psalms 29:2]) and Christian (1 Timothy 2:8) as well as Pagan (Virg. Aen. i. 93) practice of ";lifting up"; hands in prayer, reference may be made to the two uplifted hands shown on the stele inscribed with the Jewish prayer for vengeance found at Rheneia : see Deissmann LAE, Fig. 64, p. 424.
