The variety of uses of ὑπηρέτης connected with the general idea of ";service"; may again be illustrated from the papyri—P Hal I. 1.47 (mid. iii/B.C.) ἐνγύος μὲν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ λαμβανέτω ὁ πράκτωρ ἢ ὁ ὑπηρέτης παραμονῆς, P Tebt I. 45.5 (B.C. 113) ὑπηρέτου γεωργῶν τῶν ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς (Κερκεοσίρεως), ";assistant of the cultivators of the said (Kerkeosiris),"; P Oxy II. 259.13 (A.D. 23) διὰ Βίλλου διοικητικ [οῦ ] ὑπηρέτ [ου, ";through Billus, assistant to the dioecetes,"; P Fay 26.20 (A.D. 150) Σαραπίων ὑπηρέτης (";clerk";) μεταδέδωκα Φαμ (ενὼθ) β ̄, P Oxy VI. 899.50 (A.D. 200) ὑπηρέτης ἐπή [ν ]εγκα, ";I, assistant, have brought the petition,"; P Oxy I. 65.2 ff. (iii/A.D.) παράδοτε τῷ ἀποστ ̣αλέντι ὑπηρέτ [ῃ ] Παχοῦμιν. . . ὅρα μὴ κατάσχητε τὸν ὑπηρέτη <ν >, ";deliver up to my officer whom I have sent Pachoumis. See that you do not detain the officer"; (Edd.), and inscribed on a pillar in the market-place of Magnesia the words τόπος ὑπηρετῶν οἰκοδόμων ἐπὶ Πωλλίωνος κτλ. (Magn 239—time of Hadrian?) : see Thieme, p. 33 where the common use of ὑπηρέτης as a cult-title along with διάκονος and μάγειρος is noted in illustration of Luke 4:20. In the same connexion Plummer (ICC ad l.) cites from Schürer Geschichte ii. p. 441, n..42 ( = HJP II. ii. p. 66 f.) a Roman epitaph to a Jew who held a similar office—
Φλαβιος Ιουλιανος υπηρετης
Φλαβια Ιουλιανη θυγατηρ πατρι
Εν ειρηνη η κοιμησις σου.
