For β . associated with time (class.), as in Luke 24:1, cf. P Lips I. 40ii. 10 (iv/v A.D.) ὀψὲ πάνυ βαθ [ε ]ίας ἑσπέρ [ας . So in the fragment of an epithalamium (iv/A.D.), P Ryl I. 17.6—
ὁμοφροσύνην δ᾽ ὀπα ̣σ ̣ε ̣[ιε
ἤδη που θεὸς ἄμμι καὶ αὐτίκα τέκνα γενέ [σ ]θ ̣α ̣ι ̣
καὶ πα [ί ]δων παῖδας καὶ ἐς βαθὺ γῆρας ἱκέσ ̣θ [αι .
It is applied to colour in P Lond 899.4 (ii/A.D.) (= III. p. 208) τὸ οὖν βαθύτερον (sc. πορφύριον ) πεποίηται εἰς τὸ σπανου (?) καὶ τὸ ὀξύτερον εἰς τ [ὸ ] ἄλλ [ο ]. The comparative βαθύτερον is also found P Petr III. 43 (2) rectoiv, .13 (B.C. 245) (p. 121). Note a new compound, recalling the combination in Luke 6:48, P Hal I. 1ii. 83 (iii/B.C.), where a πολιτικὸς νόμος is headed φυτ [εύσ ]εως καὶ οἰκοδομ [ίας ] καὶ β [αθ ]υορυ [γῆς .
