ἐρείδω is found in a petition of village-representatives against carrying out certain repairs on an embankment—P Oxy XII. 1469.8 (A.D. 298) οὐ ταῦτα μὲν οὖν μόνα ἤριστο τ [ῇ κ ]ώμῃ ἡμῶν, ";nor was this all that was imposed upon our village"; (Edd.). The compound ἀπερείδω, as in LXX Daniel 1:2, occurs in P Tor I. 1ii. 19 (B.C. 117–6) of ";depositing"; dead bodies in a house—ἀλλὰ καὶ νεκροὺς ἀπηρεισμένοι τυγχάνουσιν ἐνταῦθα, cf. ib.iii. 13. Hunt restores the subst. in P Hawara 17.4 (i/A.D.) (=Archiv v. p. 380) ἐνέδωκα [ν. . . ἐρ ]είσματα, and cites Polyb. v. 100. 5 τῶν δ᾽ερεισμάτων οὐ δυναμένων ὑποφέρειν τὸ βάρος ἀλλ᾽ ἐνδόντων : cf. Syll 588.171 (c. B.C. 180) ἐρείσματα σιδηρᾶ, and Vett. Val. pp. 333.30, 334.10. See also Anz Subsidia, p. 271, and for the medical usage Hobart p. 280 f.
