OGIS 383.11 ff. (Commagene inscription, i/B.C.) οὐ μόνον κτῆσιν βεβαιοτάτην, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀπόλαυσιν ἡδίστην ἀνθρώποις ἐνόμισα τὴν εὐσέβειαν, ib..150 κοινὴν ἀπόλαυσιν ἑορτῆς παρεχέτω, ib. 669.8 (i/A.D.) τά τε πρὸς σωτηρίαν καὶ τὰ πρὸς ἀπόλαυσιν, IG XII. iii. 326.12 (Thera, time of Antonines) πρὸς [ἀπ ]όλαυσιν. Cf. εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν in Didache 10.3. A derived adjective occurs in Vettius Valens p. 15.24 αἱ δὲ ἑξῆς ε ̄ (sc. μοῖραι) Ἀφροδίτης εὐκρατότεραι ἀνειμέναι πολύσοφοι ἀπολαυστικαί, ";given to enjoyment.";
For the verb cf. OGIS 669.3 (i/A.D.) τὴν πόλιν ἀπολαύουσαν τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν ἃς ἔχει κτλ., P Fay 125.10 ff. (ii/A.D.) εὔχομαι [γὰρ ] μείζονος ἀξίας γενέσθαι [ἀφ᾽ ο ]ὗ ἀπολαύομεν τῶν δώ [ρων ], ";for I hope to be better off now that we are enjoying presents (?)"; (Edd.), BGU I 248.14 (iii/A.D.) τῶν ἠθῶν σου ἀπολαῦσαι, P Oxy I 41.8 (iii/iv A.D.) πολλῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀπολαύομεν. The sepulchral inscr., Preisigke 2004, Αντωνεῖνε, πάντων ἀπέλο ̣υσας, must presumably mean ἀπέλαυσας. Syll 891.19—a curious funeral inscription composed for a heathen by a proselyte, who quotes the LXX—μηδὲ καρπῶν ἀπολαύοι. CPHerm 119 verso iii. 16 (iii/A.D.), where Aelius Asclepiades receives ἄφεσις from public services from Gallienus ἵν ]α δ ̣ι ̣ὰ τὴν [τῶν προγόνων ] ἀρετὴν ἀπολαύσῃ τῆς ἐμῆς φιλανθρωπίας.
