";native place,"; ";native town"; rather than ";native land"; (cf. Matthew 13:54, Luke 4:23 f.; Field Notes, p. 10) : BGU IV. 1140.7 (B.C. 4) κινδυνεύω οὐ μόνον τῆς ἰδίας πατρίδος στερηθῆναι ἀλλὰ. . ., P Ryl II. 153.3 (a Will—A.D. 138–161) the testator bequeaths certain privileges to a freedman ἐπιμ ̣[έ ]νοντι ὡς προγέγραπται τῇ πατρίδι μου, ";while he remains as aforesaid in my native city"; (Edd.), P Oxy VIII. 1102.10 (c. A.D. 146) an instruction to a man τὸ τέταρτον τῆς οὐσίας εἰσενενκεῖ <ν > ὑπὲρ τῆς γυμνασ [ι ]αρχίας τ ̣η ̣̑ α ̣ὐ ̣τοῦ πατρίδι, ";to contribute the fourth part of the estate to his native city for the gymnasiarchy,"; P Ryl II. 77.34 (A.D. 192) πειθόμενος τ ̣ῆ ἐμαυτοῦ πατρίδι ἐπιδέχομαι στεφα [νη ]φόρον ἐξηγητείαν, ";obedient to my native city, I offer to undertake the office of a crowned exegetes"; (Edd.). Cf. also the important rescript of Caracalla, P Giss I. 40ii. 9 (A.D. 215) permitting those who had been banished to return to their own homes—ὑποστρεφε ̣τωσαν πάντες εἰς τὰς πατρίδας τὰς ἰδίας, and the epitaph of Avircius Marcellus, Bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia about A.D. 170, which closes with the warning that whoever disturbs his tomb shall pay χρηστῇ πατσίδι Ἱεράπολι χείλια χρυσᾶ, ";1000 gold pieces to my excellent fatherland Hierapolis"; (see W. M. Ramsay, Exp. III. ix. p. 265). For the mystical sense of πατρίς in Hebrews 11:14 Moffatt (ICC ad l.) cites Philo de Agric. 65 (ed. Wendland).
