τελείως is found in the NT only in 1 Peter 1:13 νήφοντες τελείως, where Hort Comm. ad l. understands the phrase to mean ";being sober with a perfect sobriety,"; a sobriety ";entering into all their thoughts and ways,"; ";the opposite of heedless drifting as in a mist."; Cf. the fragmentary P Petr III. 42 H(8c).3 (iii/B.C.) τελείως ποιήσεις, P Flor I. 93.27 (deed of divorce—A.D. 569) ἐξηλλάχθαι πρὸς ἀλλήλους καὶ διαλελύσθαι ἐντόνως καὶ τελείω ̣̓, and the Christian amulet BGU III. 954.30 (c. vi/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 134) ending Ἅγιε Σέρηνε, πρόσπεσε ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα τελείως ὑγιανῶ, ";O holy Serenus, supplicate on my behalf, that I may be in perfect health."; In MGr the adv. has the form τέλεια.
