See P Rein 52.2 (iii/iv A.D.) ὑμῖν ἐγράφη τ ̣ὴν π ̣εριποίησιν τοῦ σείτου καὶ τὴν ἀναπομπὴν δηλῶσαι, where the editor notes that περιποίησις means ";soit acquisition ou production, soit conservation"; : here he doubtfully selects ";production,"; but in view of the following ἀναπομπήν, ";préservation"; would be better (cf. P Flor II. p. 89). In P Tebt II. 317.26 (A.D. 174–5) τὸ τῆς περιποιήσεως δίκαιον is rendered ";claim of ownership,"; which may be set by Ephesians 1:14, where the ";ownership"; is bought back after alienation.
