BGU III. 915.15, .24 (A.D. 49–50) τὰς ἀφωρισθείσας ὑπ Ἑρμαίου (sc. ἀρούρας ), ib. IV 1060.33 (B.C. 14) τὸν ἀφωρικό (τα ) τὸ ἔδαφος , in a technical sense : cf. much earlier OGIS 6.20 (iv/B.C.) ἀφορίσαι αὐτῶι τέμενος . Similarly in Rev L ἡ ἀφωρισμένη was the part of the Libyan nome, the produce of which was reserved for Alexandria : see the editor’s note, p. 169. For the word, as in Matthew 13:49, we may add a citation from the Pelagia-Legenden, p. 6.5, μή με ἀφορίσῃς ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανίου σου θυσιαστηρίου . In Kaibel 244.3, an epitaph from near Cyzicus, written in a conventional Doric, τᾷ κάλλος ἀφώρισε Κύπρις ἐν ἀστοῖς means ";set apart"; as incomparable.
