Cagnat IV. 351.31 has ἔργου βιαίου in a fragmentary context, in a rescript of Hadrian at Pergamum. The adj. occurs several times in Vettius Valens, who also has the compound βιαιοθάνατος , and derivatives -τέω and -σία . For the adverb, which is commoner, see P Par 14.22 ἐνοικοῦσιν βιαίως of those who ";forcibly"; take possession of a house, and cf. BGU II. 467.9 (ii/A.D.) βιαίως ἀπέσπασεν [τ ]ο ̣υ ̣̣ς καμή [λο ]υς ib. 648.9 (A.D. 164 or 196) (= Chrest.
