εὔσημος, like ἄσημος (q.v.), is used in personal descriptions with reference to any ";distinguishing"; marks, as in P Petr I. 19.14 (B.C. 225) ο ]ὐλῇ εὔσημος μετώπωι μέσ [ωι, P Flor III. 316.8 (ii/A.D.) Πασίωνι. . . εὐσήμωι ὀ [φθαλ ]μῷ δεξιῷ. From the inscrr. we may cite OGIS 90.43 (the Rosetta stone—B.C. 196) ὅπως δ᾽ εὔσημος ἦι νῦν τε καὶ εἰς τὸν ἔπειτα χρόνον, and ib. 665.13 (A.D. 49) βούλομαι οὖν [σ ]ε. . . καθ᾽ ἕ [καστον τόπο ]ν αὐτὸ (a decree) προθεῖναι σαφέσι καὶ εὐσήμοις [γράμμασιν. For the adv. = ";legibly"; see P Par 62ii. 7 (c. B.C. 170) and cf. P Oxy IX. 1188.5 (A.D. 13) προσανένε (γκε) εὐ ̣σ ̣ή (μως), ";report clearly."; In P Tebt I. 14.11 (B.C. 114) the editors render εὐσήμως ";in detail"; with reference to various items in a report on certain property.
