With the use of this subst. in Luke 23:48 we may compare P Tebt I. 33.6 (B.C. 112) (= Selections, p. 30), where arrangements are made for the reception of a Roman senator who is making the voyage to Egypt ";to see the sights";—ἀνάπλουν. . . ἐπὶ θεωρίαν ποιούμενος : cf. P Oxy VII. 1025.16 (late iii/A.D.) τῶν θεωριῶν, ";the spectacles"; at a village festival. It refers to a judicial ";investigation"; in P Tor I. 1viii. 5 (B.C. 117–6) καὶ μὴ προσεκτέον αὐτῶι ἐφ᾽ ἑτέραν θεωρίαν μεταφέροντι τὴν γεγονυῖαν αὐτῶι πρὸς ἄλλους περὶ οὐδη (π)οτοῦν πράγματος ἀμφιζβήτησιν, and to an agricultural ";survey"; in P Amh II. 68.57 (late i/A.D.) ἐκ τῆς νυνεὶ κατ᾽ ἀγρῦν θεωρίας : in Michel 509.8 (B.C. 241) ἐκδεξάμενος τάς τε παρούσας θεωρίας πρ [επ ]όντως, it = ";embassy,"; ";mission."; MGr θωρία, ";look,"; ";glance,"; θεωρία, ";theory.";

For θεώρημα see P Lond 121.473 (magic—iii/A.D.) (= 1. p. 99), for θεώρησις CP Herm I. 7ii. 23 (ii/A.D. ?), and for θεωρός OGIS 232.5 (ii/B.C.). P Oxy III. 473.4 (A.D. 138–60) τά τ ̣ε ̣ [θε ]ωρικὰ χρήματα are the funds provided for theatrical displays : see also Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 373 f.
