Mahaffy in P Petr III. p. 262 says that προσαγωγή sometimes means ";a landing stage."; This would agree with Pallis on Romans 5:2, who thinks that χάριν is there pictured as a haven, and that προσαγωγήν means ";approach"; in a nautical sense. In P Petr III. 112 (f) versoii. 4 (p. 290) εἰς τομὴν καὶ προσαγωγὴν χάλικος, the word must mean ";carting."; In P Tebt I. 20.6 (B.C. 113) ἐπὶ τῶν προσαγωγῶν refers to ";additions"; to the revenue, and in ib. 72.449 (B.C. 114–3) τῆς προσαγωγῆς γεγονυίας to ";increase"; of rent. The gen. plur. προσαγωγίδων in P Petr III. 107 (a).2 and (d).1 (iil/B.C.) is supposed by Mahaffy to be used as an adj. descriptive of ships, or possibly as connected with the meaning ";landing stages.";
