γαμέω [page 121] The verb is used in its ordinary classical sense of take to wife in a will of B.C. 285 4, P Eleph 2 .8 , where provision is made in the event of certain of the testator s sons marrying and being divorced γημάντων δὲ καὶ καταχωρισθέντων the property will belong jointly to all his sons. Cf. for the same absolute use a question addressed by a man to the Oracle of Zeus-Helios-Sarapis, P Oxy IX. 1213 .4 (ii/A.D.) ἀξιοῖ Μένανδρος [εἰ ] δέδοταί μοι γαμῆσαι , M. asks, is it granted me to marry? (Ed.). So P Flor III. 332 .24 (ii/A.D.) ἐπεὶ δὲ νῦν Νῖλος ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῆς γαμεῖν μέλλει , and with object, Audollent 78 μήποτ᾽ αὐτὸν γῆμαι ἄλλην γυναῖκα . The use of γαμεῖσθαι to denote the bride s part in a wedding has rather fallen out of use in Hellenistic, but it not infrequently survives in the legal language of marriage-contracts, e.g. P Oxy III. 496 .5 (A.D. 127) ἡ [τῆς ] γαμουμένης μάμμη Θαὶς κτλ ., ib. VI. 905 .10 (A.D. 170) (= Selections , p. 86) καὶ ὁ γαμῶν ἐπι ]χορηγείτω τῇ γαμουμένῃ τὰ δέοντα , and even P Lips I. 41 .11 (about the end of iv/A.D.) where, with reference to the bridal gifts, the bridegroom, after the marriage has been completed, is described as οὐ τὰ ἑαυτοῦ ἐπικομιζόμενος μόνον , ἀλ̣λ̣α̣̣ κ̣α̣[ί ] τινα̣ [τ ]ῆς γη̣[μ ]αμέν [η ]̓ : see further Proleg. p. 159. For the passive, cf. P Oxy X. 1266 .16 (A.D. 98) τὴν δὲ τοῦ υἱοῦ μητέρα Θερμούθιον γεγαμῆσθαί μοι τῷ β̄ (ἔτει ) Δομιτιανοῦ , P Grenf II. 76 .11 (deed of separation A.D. 305 6) ἀλλ᾽ ἐξεῖναι αὐτῇ ἀποστῆ [ναι .καὶ ] γαμηθῆναι ὡς ἂν βουληθῇ . Γαμετή , wife, is common P Tebt I. 104 .17 (B.C. 92) ὅσα προσήκει γυναικὶ γαμετῆι , PSI I. 64 .4 (? i/B.C.) συνοικ [ήσουσά σοι ὡ ]ς γνησ̣[ία ] γαμετή , P Oxy IV. 795 .4 (A.D. 81 96) γ ]ᾳμετὴν φερνὴν προσφερομένην δα [κτύλιον ] χρυσοῦν τεταρτῶ [ν , and OGIS 206 .9 Ἀκύλα . . . εὐξάμενος ῥῶσιν καὶ τέκνοις καὶ γαμετῇ . This noun and σύμβιος have considerably trenched on the ground of the less explicit γυνή .
