The phrase ἐκ νεότητος, ";from youth upwards,"; as in Mark 10:20 al., is found as early as Homer (ll. xiv. 86) : cf. P Tebt II. 276.39 (astrological—ii/iii A.D.) ἀπὸ νε [ότ ]η ̣τ ̣ο ̣ς ̣, PSI VI. 685.7 (iv/A.D.) ἐν τῷ τῆς νεότ ?]ητός μου χρόνῳ, and Kaibel 322.3 τήνδ ἄρ᾽ ἐμὴν νεότητα πατὴρ Παιδέρως ἐνέγραψεν (";imaginem iuvenilem";). See also Didache iv. 9 ἀπὸ νεότητος διδάξεις τὸν φόβον τοῦ θεοῦ. As showing that νεότης (1 Timothy 4:12) may cover mature age, see Ramsay cited s.v. νέος, and cf. Iren. c.
