For the aor. of this NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (Romans 1:20 : cf. proleg. p. 117) cf. P Lond 342.13 (A.D. 185) (= II. p. 174), where the production of certain offenders is demanded—ὅτι ̣ κ ̣α [τ ]ίδωμεν τ [ίς ἔ ]σται ὁ καρπιζόμενός σε. In the well-known epitaph of Abercius, Bishop of Hierapolis towards the close of ii/A.D., Christ is described as the pure Shepherd—
ὃς βόσκει προβάτων ἀγέλας οὔρεσι πεδίοις τε,
ὀφθαλμοὺς ὃς ἔχει μεγάλους πάντα καθορόωντας.
See Lightfoot Apost. Fathers.2 11.i. p.496.
