To other citations for the meaning ";faithless"; appearing in the derivative verb may be added three from Ptolemaic papyri for εὐσυνθετέω , ";to keep faith";—P Petr II. 9 (2).2 (B.C. 241–39), εὐσυνθετῆσαι αὐτοῖς , P Tebt I. 61 (a).32 (B.C. 118–7), διὰ τὸ μὴ εὐσυνθετηικέναι ἐν τῆι διορθώσ [ε ]ι τοῦ ἐπιβληθέντ [ος α ]ὐτῶι στεφάνου , and similarly ib. 64 (a).113 (B.C. 116–5). Add a British Museum papyrus quoted in Archiv vi. p 101 (A.D. 114–5) τῶν β [ι ]βλίων . . . ἐπαλλήλ ̣[ων ] κα [ὶ ] ἀσυνθέτων διὰ τὸ πλῆθος κειμένων , which can only mean that these records were ";closely packed together and not in order";—a meaning which follows well from that of συντίθημι , but does not seem to occur elsewhere.
