PSI II. 152.24 (ii/A.D.) may show ἠπάτ [ων in a fragmentary line at the end, with practically no context : ψεῦδος occurs a line higher up. It is surprising that this is the only citation we can make. The verb is absent from Polybius and only occurs twice in Plutarch, but is fairly frequent in LXX, and found in early Christian writers. It was evidently falling into disuse in most quarters.
