Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Syll 529.6 (i/B.C.) τῶν μὲν διὰ τὴν ἀπ [ο ]ρίαν ἐκλελοιπότων τὴν πόλιν, τῶν δὲ διὰ τὴν γενομένη [ν λοι ]μικὴν περίστασιν καὶ τὰς ἀρρωστίας μὴ δυναμένων [φυ ]λάσσειν τὴν πατρίδα, where we naturally think of . as = ";poverty,"; but the interpretation given in the last article is applicable. In P Fay 20.5 (an imperial edict, iii/iv A.D.), which, is restored εἴ γε μὴ τὸ τῆς π [α ]ρὰ τοῖς καὶ τοῖς δημοσίας ἀπορίας ἐμποδὼν ἦν, πολὺ ἂν φανερωτέραν τὴν ἐμαυτοῦ μεγαλοψυχίαν ἐπιδεικ [ν ]ύμενος, the editors translate ";if the fact of the public embarrassment existing in various parts had not stood in my way, I should have made a much more conspicuous display of my magnanimity;"; but they remark that the δημοσίους, of the ill-spelt text should perhaps be emended δημοσίοις, with a lost word after the first τοῖς. Cf. also P Lips I. 36.7 (A.D. 376 or 378). In CPHerm 6.10 we have ἀπορίᾳ δὲ πλοίων ";from shortage of ships.";
