This Hellenistic form of the classical ποδαπός, ";of what country?"; (cf. Proleg. p. 95), occurs in the Mime fragment, P Oxy III. 413.155 (Roman period) ποταπὰ περιπατεῖς; ";where are you walking from?"; In the NT the word is never local, but = ποῖος; ";of what sort?"; ";how great?"; : cf. the illiterate P Oxy XIV 1678.16 (iii/A.D.) γράψον μυ, ποταπὸν θέλεις ἐνήκω (l. ἐνέγκω), ";write me what sort (of purple) you wish me to bring."; The same usage occurs in Apoc. Petr. 2 ποταποί εἰσι τὴν μορφήν : see also Schmid Atticismus iii. p. 253, iv. p. 371.
