P Oxy II. 237vii. 11 (A.D. 186), the Dionysia petition, has ἀνόμου κατοχῆς, ";an illegal claim."; The closeness of ἀνομία and ἀδικία may be seen in the associated adjectives of P Lond 358.13 (c. A.D. 150) (= II. p. 172), where ἄνομα καὶ, ἄδικα are complained of. Cf. IGSI 1047.3 τοῦ ἀνόμου. Τυφῶνος. For the adverb see P Magd 6.11 (B.C. 221) μὴ περιιδεῖμ με ἀνόμως ὑβριζόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν ποιμένων, and BGU IV. 1200.20 (B.C. 2–1) ἐξουσίαν ἔχοντες τῶι Ἀσκληπιάδου ἀ. ἀποδέδωκαν κτλ. The construction in 1 Corinthians 9:21 μὴ ὢν ἄνομος θεοῦ is illustrated in Proleg. p. 235 f. The verb ἀνομέω as a transitive appears in P Par 37.48 (ii/B.C.) ἀξιῶ. . . μὴ ὑπεριδεῖν με ἠνομημένον καὶ ἐγκεκλειμένον : cf. ib. 35.34 (by the same writer), with the same combination in the present (passive).
