For personal injury we may note such passages as P Lips I. 2.6 (A.D. 99) ὀφθαλμὸν δεξιὸν βεβλαμμένος , P Grenf I. 33.13 (c B.C. 102) ἐβλαμμένος ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀμφοτέρους , P Flor I. 57.63 (A.D. 223–5) τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐβλάβην (= III. 382), also perhaps ib. III. 302.7 (A.D. 151) βεβλαμμ (ένος )] τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν δεξ [ιόν . It is curious that it should be thus specialised for injury to the eyes. The verb is common for ";damage"; in a legal sense. Thus P Petr III. 26.8 ἀποτεισάτω ὁ κύριος τῶι βλαφθέντι τὸ βλάβος ὃ ἂν καταβλάψηι , ";the owner shall pay to the injured person the amount of damage done,"; BGU IV. 1057.28 (A.D. 13) (= Chrest. II. p. 401) ἐκτίν (ειν ) αὐτοὺς ὃ ἐὰν πραχθῇ ἢ βλαβῇ , P Oxy II. 286.11 (A.D. 82), ἐκτείσειν ὃ ἐὰν πραχθῶμεν ἢ βλαβῶμεν τούτων χάριν , ";paying us in full any loss or damage which we might incur in connexion with the transaction"; (Edd.), ib. I. 44.8 (late i/A.D.) ὡς ἱκανὰ βλαπτομένων , ";on the plea that they had incurred sufficient loss already"; (Edd.). More general sense appears in P Flor II. 151.11 (A.D. 267) μὴ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς στρατιώτης ἀποσταλῇ , καὶ ἄλλως ἐφόδιον βλαβῶσιν , ";lose their wages"; (?). It describes the material damage done by a riot in CP Herm I. 119 rectoiv. 14 (A.D. 260–8), ἀφ᾽ ὧν οὐδὲν περ [ιγίνετ ]αι τῷ πολιτικῷ λόγῳ διὰ τὸ ἐξ ὁλοκλήρου βεβλάφθαι ἐν τοῖς πρόσθεν συμβεβηκόσι κατὰ τὴ [ν πό ]λειν ἀπευκταίοις τ ̣α ̣[ρ ]α ̣χ ̣οις .
