The verb is found in the sepulchral epitaph or a mimus, already cited s.v. δεισιδαίμων, Kaibel 607.7 (iii/A.D.) εὐφρανθεὶς ἐφ᾽ ὅσον μοῖραι χρόνον ὥρισαν αὐτῷ, εὐσεβίης ἕνεκεν δοξασθεὶς καὶ μετὰ λήθην. As illustrating the NT usage of this word, the following invocation from the magical papyrus P Lond 121.502 ff. (iii/A.D.) (= I. p. 100) is noteworthy—κυρία Ἶσις. . . δόξασόν μοι (for με), ὡς ἐδόξασα τὸ (ὄνομα) τοῦ υἱοῦ (pap. υἱοῦς) σου Ὥρου : cf. Reitzenstein Poimandres, p. 22 n.5. See Anz Subsidia, p. 356. A further magical quotation was given above under δόξα. Grimm’s ";use not found in prof. writ.,"; viz. ";to make glorious, adorn with lustre"; etc., disappears from that category, as we might expect : cf. also OGIS 168.56 (B.C. 115) ἐν Ἐλ ]εφαντίνηι ἱεροῦ δεδοξασμένου ἐξ ἀρχαίων καὶ [. . . The verb survives in MGr, with partic. δοξασμένος as an adj., ";celebrated.";
