P Lips I. 119 ii. 1 (A.D. 274) εὐφροσύνην ἂν παρέσχεν τὴν τελιοτάτην. The word occurs as a proper name in Preisigke 457 (iii/B.C.) Ἰωάννα Εὐφροσύνη : cf. the Christian letter P Oxy VI. 939.19 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 129) διὰ Εὐφροσύνου. For the adj. see Preisigke 411 (iii/iv A.D.) where in a sepulchral inscr. a certain Serapion is eulogized as φιλότεκνε φιλογύναιε φιλόφιλε εὐφρόσυνε ἄλυπε χρηστέ, and P Lond V. 1684.3 (mid. vi/A.D.) ἐν εὐφροσύνῳ εἰμι, where the editor notes that the meaning may be ";I have a good opportunity,"; or merely ";I am glad.";
