The superlve is applied to a person in the address P Lond 1917.1 (c A.D. 330–340) τῷ γνησιωτάτῳ καὶ φω [τ ]ι ̣νωτάτῳ μ [α ]καριωτάτῳ. . . . ἄπα Παιηο ̣υ ̣ͅ, ἐν δεσπό [του Ἰη ]σοῦ Χριστοῦ χαῖραι (l. χαῖρε), ";to the most genuine and most enlightened, most blessed Apa Paiêou, greeting in our Master Jesus Christ"; (Ed.). Cf. also the vi/A.D. biblical scholion PSI I. 65.13 οἱ (l. εἰ ?) πειστοὶ κροιγοροῦντες (l. πιστοὶ γρηγοροῦντες) ἐσώ (=)μεθα, λαμπάτ (=δ)ες ὑ (=)μῶν φωτινὲ (l. φωτειναὶ) ἐν ἐλαίῳ.

In a Christian Greek inscr. from Nubia of ix/A.D., published in J. Eg.

See also P. D. Scott-Moncrieff Paganism and Christianity in Egypt, p. : o4, where reference is made to a funeral tablet (Berlin, No. 11820), which runs ";Taêsai lived 28 years. She has gone to the shining (land)."; The φωτινὸς τόπος may be either the Christian heaven, or the place of the ";illuminated ones"; of the old pagan religion.
