The nearest parallel we can give to the NT usage ";briefly"; in Acts 24:4 occurs in an astronomical treatise published in the Rylands papyri, I. 27.32 (iii/A.D.) ἄλλως συντομώτερον ἀπὸ ἀρχῆς, ";another shorter way, starting from the beginning"; (Edd.). But cf. the adj. in a rhetorical fragment of iii/A.D., PSI I. 85.2 ἀπομνημόνευμα σύντομον ἐπὶ προσώπου τινὸς ἐπενετόν, also 8, 14, and the subst. in P Leid V x. 6 (iii/iv A.D.) (= II. p. 33) διὰ πάσης συνστομίας (l. συντομίας), ";omni brevitate.";
The reference of the word to time ";quickly,"; ";at once,"; is common : —P Cairo Zen II. 59201.2 (B.C. 254) Ἀπολλώνιον τὸν ἐργολάβον (";contractor";) ἀποστελοῦμεν πρὸς σὲ συντόμ [ως, P Amh II. 37.11 (B.C. 196 or 172) παραγενήσ ]ομαι συντόμως, and BGU III. 824.15 (A.D. 55–56) παράβαλε οὖν ἐκεῖ, εἵνα συντόμως αὐτὸ ποιήσῃ καὶ καλόν. Cf. P Cairo Zen I. 59028.8 (B.C. 258) ὅτι συντομώτατα, and P Grenf II. 94.2, .4 (vi/vii A.D.) διὰ συντόμου.
