A few exx. of this common verb should suffice—P Grenf II. 36.9 (B.C. 95) μὴ λυπεῖσθε ἐπὶ τοῖς χωρισθεῖσι, ";do not grieve over the departed,"; BGU IV. 1079.9 (A.D. 41)= Selections, p. 39) λοιπὸν οὖν ἔλαβον παρὰ το (ῦ) Ἄραβος τὴν ἐπιστολὴν καὶ ἀνέγνων καὶ ἐλυπήθην, ";finally then I received the letter from the Arabian, and I read it and was grieved,"; P Oxy I. 115.8 (letter of condolence—ii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 96) οὕτως ἐλυπήθην καὶ ἔκλαυσα ἐπὶ τῶι εὐμοίρωι ὡς ἐπὶ Διδυμᾶτος ἔκλαυσα, ";I grieved and wept as much over the blessed one as I wept for Didymas,"; ib. XII. 1481.4 (early ii/A.D.) ὥστε μὴ λοιπο ̣υ ̣ͅ. λείαν δ᾽ ἐλοιπήθην ̣ ἀκούσας ὅτι ἤκουσας · οὐ γὰρ δε ̣ι ̣ν ̣ῶς ἠσθένησα, ";so do not grieve about me. I was much grieved to hear that you had heard about me, for I was not seriously ill"; (Edd.)—a reassuring letter from a soldier to his mother, BGU I. 246.17 ff. (ii/iii A.D.) καὶ περὶ Ἑρμιόνης μελησάτω ὑμῖν, πῶς ἄλυπος ἦν · οὐ δίκαιον γὰρ αὐτὴν λυπῖσθαι περὶ οὐδενός · ἤκουσα γάρ, ὅ [τ ]ι λυπεῖται. The verb is used in a weaker sense in such passages as P Tebt II. 278.29 (early i/A.D.), εἰ γὰρ ἦν τρίβων, οὐκ ἂν ἐλοιπήθην, ";if it had been a cloak, I should not have minded"; (Edd.)—with reference to the loss of a garment,and P Oxy III. 472.10 (c. A.D. 130) δύναται μὲν γὰρ καὶ ἄλ ̣λ ̣α τινὰ λελοιπῆσθαι παρὰ τὸν τῆς προνοίας χρόνον, ";he may indeed have had other troubles during the period of his stewardship"; (Edd.)—the speech of an advocate. We may add the inscr. IGSI 1879.11 εὐψυχῶ. . . ὅστις οὐκ ἤμην καὶ ἐγενόμην, οὐκ εἰμὶ καὶ οὐ λυποῦμαι, as showing the stoicism with which the pagan world sometimes faced death.
