A v/A.D. petition, addressed to an unknown preses, P Oxy VI. 904.2, begins—ἡ τῆς ὑμετέρας δικαιοκρισ [ί ]ας καθαρότης κἀμὲ ἐλεήσει τὸν γεγηρακότα, ";the purity of your righteous judgement will surely pity me, an old man"; (Edd.). In ib. I. 67.6 (A.D. 338) the word is used in a complimentary periphrasis—ἅπερ ἀντέγραψεν πρὸς τὴν σὴν ἐπιείκιάν τε καὶ καθαρότητα, ";which in reply he wrote to your clemency and impartiality"; (Edd.). See also Michel 545.18 (ii/B.C.) τὴν. . πίστιν τε καὶ καθα [ρότητα, and cf. Aristeas 234 where it is shown that God is truly honoured οὐ δώροις οὐδὲ θυσίαις, ἀλλὰ, ψυχῆς καθαρότητι καὶ διαλήψεως ὁσίας. For the form καθαρειότης cf. OGIS 339.14 (c. B.C. 120) διὰ τὴν ἐν τοῖς πιστευομένοις καθαρειότητα.
