In P Flor I. 57.56 (A.D. 223–5) a septuagenarian pleads for ";relief"; (ἀναπαύσεω ̣̓) from public duties (λειτουργίαι); and in BGU I. 180.5 (ii/iii A.D.) we read of the πεντ [α ]ετῆ χρό [ν ]ον ἀνα [παύσε ]ως accorded to veterans μετὰ τ [ὴν ἀπό ]λυσιν from military service. As will be seen from the record of the verb below, the essential idea is that of a respite, or temporary rest as a preparation for future toil, which Lightfoot (on Philemon 1:7) finds in ἀναπαύω. This brings out all the better the differentia of κατάπαυσις in Hebrews 4:1-16, the Sabbath followed by no weekday.
