ἀκριβῶς. For ἀ. with οἶδα, as 1 Th 5%, cf. P Goodsp Cairo 35: (i1i/B.C.) ὅπως ἀκριβῶς εἰδῆις, P Petr 11. 15 (1)! (iii/.c.) εἰδῆσαι ἀκριβῶς : cf. P Hib I. 4o8*. (iii/B.c.) ἐπίστασο μέντοι ἀκριβῶς, P Par 447 (B.C. 153) (= Witkowski 2.22.2 p. 83) διασάφηϊ]σόν μοι. . . τὰ περὶ σαυτὸν ἀκριβῶς, P Lond 354 (c. B.C. 10) ( -- 1. p. 165) ἐπιγνόντα ἀκρειβῶς ἕκαστα. The comparative is used very much as in Ac 2315, 30 jn P Oxy VIII. 1102" (c. A.D. 146), the strategus ἀκρειβέστερον ἥξει “Αρπαλος καὶ thera σθήσεται περὶ τούτου axpeBéo[T]epov: the combination was evidently a formula. With πυνθάνεσθαι (as in Ac 23°) cf. P Petr II. 16! (iii/p.c.) πευσόμεσθα ἀκριβέστερον. The superlative occurs in P Hib I. 27%. 84 (early iii/B.C.) ὡς οὖν ἠδυνάμην ἀκριβέστατα.
