P Giss I. 80.6 (ii/A.D.) τὰ [π ]εριστερίδι [α καὶ ὀ ]ρνυθάρια, ἃ οὐκ ἤωθα ἐσθεῖν (l. ἐσθίειν), πέμ [ψον. . ., ib..10 ὅσα ποτὲ οὐκ ἔφαγον παρὰ σοῦ ἀφοσεστια (l. ἀφέστια ?), P Oxy IX. 1185.10 (c. A.D. 200) παῖδα τὸν μεικρὸν δεῖ ἄρτον ἐσθίειν, and ib. X. 1297.10 (iv/A.D.) προ ̣ . ε ̣ινάριον ἐλαίου, ἀ ̣νικαλύψαι (l. ἀνα –) αὐτὸν καὶ φάγα ̣ι, ";a . . . of oil for you to uncover and eat";—so the editors, who for the form φάγαι compare P Tor I. 1v. 27 (B.C. 117) μετῆλθαι, BGU I. 250.8 (time of Hadrian) ἐπενέγκαι. See also Syll 807.13 (after A.D. 138) ἆραι κόκκους στροβίλου καὶ φαγεῖν μετὰ μέλιτος ἐπὶ τρεῖς ἡμέρας. On the constative force of φαγεῖν as distinguished from the durative ἐσθίειν cf. Proleg. p. 111, and for φάγομαι as an Hellenistic mixture of ἔδομαι and ἔφαγον cf. ib. p. 184 n.3. MGr φαγί, ";eating,"; ";repast."; Thumb (Hellenismus, p. 128 n..2) doubts the necessity of finding a Hebraism in ἐσθίειν ἀπό (Mark 7:28). See s.v. τρώγω.
