ἐκτός [page 199] ἐκτός is found in the substantival phrase τὸ ἐκτός , as in Mat_23:26 , in P Tebt II. 316 .95 (A.D. 99) οἰκῶ δὲ ἐν τῷ ἐκτὸς τῆ ( l. τῆς ) ξυληρᾶ (? l. ᾶς ), on the outskirts of the wood-market (?). Cf. P Oxy X.1258 .8 (A.D. 45) where the writer declares that he will appear before the strategus ὄντα ἐκτ [ὸ ]ς ἱεροῦ βω [μοῦ κτλ ., unprotected by any temple, altar, etc., ib. 1295 .11 (ii/iii A.D.) δε̣ο οὖν , μὴ̣ ἀνα̣π̣ε̣ι̣θ̣ε̣ αὐτο̣, ν̣ τ̣οῦ ἐκτός μου ε̣[ἶ ]ναι , I therefore beg that you will not persuade him to desert me (Edd.), and P Amh II. 143 .16 (iv/A.D.) μὴ θελήσῃς οὖν , κύριε , μῖνε ( l. μεῖναι ) ἐκτὸς ἡμῶν αὔριον , so please, sir, do not stay away from us to-morrow (Edd.). In the long astronomical papyrus P Par 1 .398 (ii/B.C.) we have ἐκτὸς ἡμέραν μίαν καὶ νύκτα , except for a single day and night. Ἐκτός is used absolutely in P Tebt II. 380 .9 (A.D. 67) οὐλὴ χιρεὶ δεξίᾳ ἐκτο̣(ς ) : cf. OGIS 762 .12 (ii/B.C.) ἃ δ [ὲ ] ἂν προστιθῶσιν ἐν ταῖς συνθήκαις , ἐνέστ [ω ] ἐν ταῖς συνθήκαις , ἃ δὲ ἂν ἀφέλ [ω ]σιν τῶν συνθ [η ]κῶν , ἐκτὸς ἔστω , and Syll 567 (ii/A.D.) where the external purifications required in drawing near to a temple are headed καὶ τὰ ἐκτός . See also Kuhring, p. 50 f. For the pleonastic negation ἐκτὸς εἰ μή (as in 1Co_14:5 ; 1Co_15:2 , 1Ti_5:19 ) Deissmann ( BS p. 118) cites an inscription of Mopsuestia in Cilicia, belonging to the Imperial period ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ [ἐ ]ὰν Μάγνα μόνη θε [λή ]σῃ (Waddington Inscriptions , iii. 2, No. 1499). See also the Lycian inscr. in JHS xxxiv. (1914), p. 31, No. 44 .6 ὧν ὁ ἐλέν [ξ ]ας λήνψετε τὸ τρίτον , ἐκτὸς εἰ μή τινι ἐγὼ ἐν [γραφ ]ῶς ἐπιτρέ [ψω . On the form of the word as a derivative of ἐξ , see Moulton Gr. ii. § 130.
