P Petr II. 25 (d)2 (iii/B.C.) εἰς ἱμάντας ἐλαίου, a receipt for oil for greasing straps, P Oxy X. 1294.7 (ii/iii A.D.) ἱμάντα δεδεμένον εἰς τὸ πανάριον καλόν, ";a good strap tied to the basket"; (Edd.). An edict of iv/A.D., P Oxy IX. 1186.2, directed against the use of the whip (ἱμάντες) in the punishment of free men, has—τὸ τὴν διὰ τῶν ἱμάντων λητ ̣αρι [ ]ων ἐπιχωρίως οὕτω καλουμένων αἰκείαν ὑπομένειν ἐστὶν μὲν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν δουλικὴν τύχην εἰληχότων ἀνιαρόν, ";subjection to the punishment of scourging, called in the native speech . . . , is even for those of servile estate lamentable"; (Ed.) : cf. Acts 22:25 (RV marg. ";for the thongs";). In Syll 537.55 (2nd half iv/B.C.) ἐπιθεὶς ἱμάντας πλάτος ἡμιποδίου the reference is to ";asseres horizontali positura canteriis impositi"; (Ed.) : cf. ib. 587.64 (B.C. 329–8). A good illustration of Mark 1:7 is afforded by Menander Fragm. p. 33, No.109.2 ὑποδούμενος τὸν ἱμάντα γὰρ τῆς δεξιᾶς | ἐμβάδος ἀπέρρηξ (α).
