In addition to its regular use with the ind., οὐ is frequently found in the papyri with the participle, due apparently to the fact that it is the proper negative for a statement of fact. Exx. are P Oxy IV. 726.10 (A.D. 135) οὐ δυνάμενος δι᾽ ἀ [σ ]θενείαν πλεῦσαι, ";since he is unable through sickness to make the voyage"; (Edd.), and P Amh II. 78.21 (A.D. 184) τοιαύτης ο [ὖ ]ν αὐθαδίας ἐν αὐτῷ οὔσης οὐ δυνάμενος [ἐν ]καρτερεῖν ἐπιδίδωμι, ";his audacity having reached this pitch I can endure no longer and present this petition."; See further Proleg. p. 231 f.
In support of the translation ";I determined not to know"; in 1 Corinthians 2:2, we may cite P Par 26.37 (B.C. 163) (= UPZ i. p. 248) οὐκ ἐκρίναμεν καταχωρῆσαι, ";we determined not to record,"; P Tebt I. 124.5 (c. B.C. 118) οὐκ <ἐκ >ρίναμεν ἐξαρ [ιθ ]μεῖ [σθαι, ";we determined not to be counted,"; and the classical formula in P Hamb I. 27.5 (B.C. 250 (249)) οὐκ ἔφη εἰδέναι, ";he said that he did not know.";
The origin of the double negative οὐ μή is fully discussed by Moulton Proleg. p. 187 ff. When we pass to its actual occurrences in the NT, we find that these for the most part are found in passages derived from the OT and in the Sayings of our Lord, which, therefore, have Semitic originals. This corresponds with the rarity of οὐ μή in the papyri. See, however, the following passages—P Par 49.35 (B.C. 164–158) (= Witkowski.2, p. 72) γίνωσκε σαφῶς ὅτι. . <πρὸς σὲ οὐ μη ̣̣ εἰ ̣σ ̣έλθω >, P Oxy I. 119.5, .14f. (ii/iii A.D.) (= Selections, p. 103) ἢ οὐ θέλις ἀπενέκκειν (l. ἀπενέγκαι) μετ᾽ ἐσοῦ εἰς Ἀλεξανδρίαν, οὐ μὴ γράψω σε ἐπιστολήν. . . ἂμ μὴ πέμψῃς, οὐ μὴ φάγω, οὐ μὴ πείνω, ";if you refuse to lake me along with you to Alexandria, I won’t write you a letter . . . If you do not send, I won’t eat, I won’t drink,"; P Leid Wviii. 9 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 107) ἐὰν θέλῃς γυνε (= αῖ)κας οὐ μὴ σχεθῆναι ὑπὸ ἄλλου ἀνδρός, P Oxy VI. 903.16 (iv/A.D.) a man declares regarding his wife ἀπεντεῦθεν οὐ μὴ κρύψω αὐτὴ <ν > πάσας μου τὰς κλεῖς, ";henceforward I shall not hide all my keys from her,"; and the magic P Lond 46.275 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 73) οὐ μὴ ἐάσω.
For the still stronger negative οὐδ᾽ οὐ μή Radermacher (Gr. p. 172) cites Wessely Papyrorum scripturae Graecae specimina XXVI. : τῷ μεγίστῳ κραταιῷ θεῷ Σοκνοπαίῳ παρὰ Ἀσκληπιάδου τοῦ Ἀρείου. εἰ οὐ δίδοταί μοι συμβιῶσαι Ταπεθευτι Μαρρειους οὐδ᾽ οὐ μὴ γένηταί μοι γυνή, ὑπόδειξόν μοι καὶ κύρωσόν μοι τοῦτο τὸ γραπτόν. πρώην δ᾽ ἦν Ταπεθευς Ὠρίωνος γυνή. Cf. also P Petr II.13 (19).13 (B.C. 258–253) τοῦτο <δ᾽ > ἔχε τῆι δια [νοία ]ι, ὅτι οὐθέν σοι μ ̣ὴ γενηθῆι λυπηρόν, P Alex 4.10 (iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski.2, p. 52) οὐδείς σε ἀνθρώπων μὴ ὠφειλήσηι, and P Oxy XII. 1483.10 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐξωδίασας τοῖς αὐτοῖς ὧν οὐδὲ ἳς μὴ παρεδέξατο τιμήν, ";you have spent upon them things of which absolutely no one has received the value"; (Edd.).
In a legal process of the 2nd half of iv/A.D. published in Archiv i. p. 293 ff. we have ii. 9 ὁ δὲ ἀδελφὸς Φιλάδελφος ὃς καὶ ἐν τῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἐστὶν καὶ οὐ μετ᾽ οὐ πολὺ ἥξει, where the phrase οὐ μετ᾽ οὐ πολύ can only mean ";after no long time"; : cf. BGU II. 614.14 (A.D. 216), and Gradenwitz Einführung i. p. 40 n..1 In MGr (Pontic) ᾽κί is used for ";not.";
