";board,"; ";plank,"; as in Acts 27:44, occurs in P Flor I. 69.24 (iii/A.D.) (τοῖς) ἐξηλοῦσι σανίδε ̓(= δας) [πλ ]ατείας ἑτέρου τοίχου τοῦ προκ (ειμένου) πλοίου : cf.21. The word readily passes into the meaning of a ";wooden tablet"; for writing purposes, as in Syll.3 975.30 (c. A.D. 250) ἀναγράψαντες εἰς τὴν σανίδα οὗ καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ γράμματα παραδό [τ ]ωσαν εἰς τὸ δημόσιον τῆι βουλῆι. In Herodas VII. 5 it denotes a wooden bench to sit upon. For the dim. σανίδιον see Syll 366 (=.3 799).25 (A.D. 38) τό τε ἐργαστήριον αὐτοῦ σ ̣ανι ̣δίοι [ς ] προσηλοῦσθαι, and for the verb σανιδόω see P Lond 1164 (h).7 (A.D. 212) (= III. p. 164) πλοῖον. . . σεσανιδ [ω ]μένον δια ̣̣ ν ̣εὼς σὺν ἱστῷ.
