We are unable to cite any vernacular instances of this verb (found in Plato); but δίχα is common, e.g. P Oxy II. 237viii. 37 (A.D. 186) δίχα ἐπιστάλματος τοῦ βιβλιοφυλακ [ίου, ";without an order from the record-office,"; P Giss I. 66.3 (early ii/A.D.) δίχα τῆς ἡμετέρας ἐπισ ̣τολ [ῆς, BGU III. 908.22 (time of Trajan) δίχα πάσης ἐξουσίας ἐπελθόντες etc.
