BGU II. 531ii. 20 (as restored p. 357—ii/A.D.) ἐὰν δὲ ἀστοχήσῃς, [αἰω ]ν ̣ίαν μοι λοίπην (= λύπην) [π ]αρέχιν μέλλις. See also the curious mantic P Ryl I. 28.211 (iv/A.D.) ἐὰν δὲ ὁ μέγας ἅληται, σημαίνι αὐτὸν δοῦλον ὄντα δεσποτεῦσαι καὶ πάσης λύπης ἀπαλλαγῆναι, ";if the great toe quiver, it signifies for a slave that he will become a master and be freed from all pain"; (Ed.). An interesting ex. of the adj. occurs in the dutiful letter of Philonides to his father, P Petr II. 13(19).13 (B.C. 258–3) τοῦτο δ᾽ ἔχε τῆι δια [νοία ]ι ὅτι οὐθέν σοι μὴ γενηθῆι λυπηρόν, ἀλλὰ πᾶν ἐ [μοὶ ἔστ ]αι πεφροντισμένον τοῦ σε γενέσθαι ἄλυπον [πάντως ?, ";but hold this fact in your mind, that nothing vexatious may happen to you, but that I have used every forethought to keep you free from trouble"; (Ed. ).
