A good ex. of οὔτε. . . οὔτε is afforded by the well-known boy’s letter, P Oxy I. 119.5 (ii/iii A.D.) (= Selections, p. 103), where the boy threatens his father that if he does not take him to Alexandria—οὐ μὴ γράψω σε ἐπιστολήν, οὔτε λαλῶ σε, οὔτε υἱγένω σε εἶτα, ";I won’t write you a letter, or speak to you, or wish you health"; : cf. also BGU II. 530.9 f. (i/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 60 f.) οὔτε ἀντέγραψας οὔτε ἦλθας, ";you neither answered nor came.";
