P Tebt II. 412.3 (late ii/A.D.) ἄνελθε εἰς τὴν μητρόπολιν τοῦ νέου ἔτου ̣̓, ";come up to the metropolis at the New Year."; For κατ᾽ ἔτος, ";yearly,"; as in Luke 2:41, cf. P Amh II. 86.11 (A.D. 78) ἃς (sc. δραχμὰς) καὶ ἀπ [οδ ]ώσω κατ᾽ ἔτος ἐξενίαυτα, the yearly charge was to be paid annually, P Oxy IV. 725.36 (a contract of apprenticeship—A.D. 183) ἀργήσει δὲ ὁ παῖς εἰς λόγον ἑορτῶν κατ᾽ ἔτος ἡμέρας εἴκοσι, ";the boy shall have 20 holidays in the year on account of festivals"; (Edd.) : for καθ᾽ ἔτος see P Tebt II. 311.25 (A.D. 134), 373.10, .14 (A.D. 110–1), al. The aspirated form καθ᾽ ἕτος is also fairly common, e.g. P Petr III. 19(c).36 (B.C. 224) where the words καθ᾽ ἕτος have been added above the line, and the editor explains the form as due to false analogy with καθ᾽ ἡμέραν : see further Meyer Gr. p. 326 f., Proleg. p. 44. Καθ᾽ ἕτος is read quater in P Ryl II. 166 (A.D. 26), and ἐφ᾽ ἕτος in P Oxy X. 1299.8 (iv/A.D.) : cf. MGr (ἐ)φέτο (ς), ";this year."; In P Oxy III. 477.8 (A.D. 132–3) τὸ [π ]έμπτον ἔτ [ο ]ς Δομιτιανοῦ, ";in the fifth year of Domitian,"; we have a good ex. of the acc. denoting a point of time, as occasionally in the NT (John 4:52, Acts 20:16, Revelation 3:3) : cf. Proleg, p. 63, CR xviii. p. 152. On the other hand, the instrumental dat. of extension of time (see Proleg. p. 75) may be illustrated by Syll 607.28 (iii/iv A.D.) ἐβ (όησεν) ὁ δ (ῆμος)· ";πολλοῖς ἔτεσι τοὺς νεωκόρους,"; ";Long live the temple-wardens,"; and by the iv/A.D. inscr. regarding a Lycaonian Bishop—.12 εἴκοσι πέντε ὅλοις ἔτεσιν τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν. . διοι [κ ]ήσας (see Exp. VII. vi. p. 387).
A new adv. ἀνετεύτως is found joined with ζῆν, ";to live for countless years,"; in an imprecatory tablet published by Wünsch in Excavations in Palestine, edd. Bliss and Macalister 1902, p. 176, No. 35.2.
