P Oxy VI. 900.7 (A.D. 322) ὑποβληθέντος ε ̣̀τ ̣ι εἰς κονδουκτορίαν τοῦ ὀξέος δρόμου τοῦ εὐτυχῶς εἰσιόντος ἔτους, ";I have besides been nominated as contractor for the express-post for the year auspiciously approaching"; (Edd.) : see the editors’ note, and cf. Romans 3:15 ὀξεῖς οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐκχέαι αἷμα. It may be noted that the express postal service (cursus velox) with horses was introduced into Egypt after the time of Diocletian, to give way, however, under Justinian to the old service with asses : cf. P Flor I. 39.7 (A.D. 396), P Oxy I. 140.7 (A.D. 550), and see the introduction to P Hamb I. 9. On the form ὀξεῖα cf. Moulton Gr. ii. p. 118. The comp. ὀξύτερον is contrasted with βαθύτερον in P Lond 899.5 (ii/A.D.) (= III. p. 208) in connexion with some purple, πορφύριον.
