It is hardly necessary to illustrate this common word, but reference may be made to P Oxy I. 65.4 (iii/iv A.D.), where a beneficiarius sends an order to the comarchs of the village Teruthis—παράδοτε τῷ ἀποσταλέντι ὑπηρέτ [ῃ ] Παχοῦμιν Παχούμις (= ιος) ὃν κατεσχήκατε σήμερον καὶ κατηνέγκατε ἐν τῇ κώμῃ ὑμῶν πολίτην ὄντα, ";deliver up to my officer whom I have sent Pachoumis, son of Pachoumis, whom you have arrested to-day and brought to your village, being a citizen"; (Edd.). See also the sepulchral epitaph, Kaibel 718.2, in which an inhabitant of Ephesus describes himself as μεγά [λης θεοῦ εἰμι πολ ]είτης.
For the adj. πολιτικός cf. P Tebt I. 5.257 (B.C. 118) τοὺς πρὸς χρείαις πάντας τῶν τε βασιλικῶν καὶ πολιτικῶν καὶ ἱερευτικῶν, ";all who are in charge of the Crown, State or sacred interests"; : see the editors’ note. In support of their contention that πολιτική in P Grenf II. 73.9 (late iii/A.D.) denotes a woman of bad character (πόρνη), the editors are now able to appeal to P Oxy VI. 903.37 (iv/A.D.) μετὰ μῆναν λαμβάνω πολιτικὴν ἐμαυτῷ, ";a month hence I will take a mistress."; Deissmann (Epistle of Psenosiris, p. 30 f., LAE, p. 201) prefers to regard the word as a proper name Πολιτική : cf. Selections, p. 117 ff. See also Archiv viii. p. 60, where the name is associated with the social rank of the woman as a ";citizeness.";
