";commendatory,"; occurs in P Oxy XII. 1587.20 (late iii/A.D.) συστατικῶν γραμμάτων : cf. 2 Corinthians 3:1 συστατικῶν ἐπισρτολῶν. Good exx. of such letters are P Goodspeed 4 (ii/B.C.) (= Selections, p. 24), P Oxy IV. 787 (A.D. 16), ib. II. 294 (A.D. 22), ib. 292 (c. A.D. 25) (= Selections, P. 37).
Other exx. of the word are P Oxy III. 505.2 (ii/A.D.) κατὰ συστατικὸν γενόμενον, ";by the terms of a deed of representation"; (Edd.), and ib. 509.12 (late ii/A.D.) ὁμολο [γῶ ] τὸ íν ý συστατικὸν πεπυῆσθαί σ [ο ]ι, ";I acknowledge that the contract of representation has been made with you"; (Edd.), and in a more general sense P Tebt II. 315.29 (ii/A.D.) ἔχι γὰρ συστατικὰς ̣ [ὅ ]π ̣ως τὸν ἀπιθοῦντα μετὰ φρουρᾶς τῷ ἀρχιερῖ πέμπιν, ";for he has instructions to send recalcitrants under guard to the high-priest"; (Edd.).
