ἀκωλύτως [page 20] The adjective occurs rarely B.C., and one citation from Plato stands in Crφnert as warrant for classical antiquity. The adverb becomes very common from ii/A.D. It is of constant occurrence in legal documents, e.g. P Oxy III. 502 .31 (A.D. 164) ὡς πρόκειται ἐπὶ τὸν χρόνον ἀκωλύτως , as aforesaid for the appointed time without hindrance of the lease of a house, ib. VI. 912 .19 (A.D. 235), ib. VIII. 1127 .16 (A.D. 183) and VII. 1036 .27 (A.D. 273) : see exx. of this combination in the note to P Giss I. 49 .27 (p. 74). So P Lips I. 26 .11 (beginning iv/A.D.) P Gen. 11 16 (A.D. 350), and the Edmonstone papyrus, P Oxy IV. p. 203 (A.D. 354), νέμεσθε εἰς οὓς ἐὰν βούλητε τόπους ἀκωλύτως καὶ ἀνεπιλήμπτως . Add the sixth century P Lond 991 .15 ( = III. p. 258) ἀκολύτως καὶ βεβα̣[ίως ] : the word is legal to the last. For the triumphant note on which it brings the Acts of the Apostles to a close, see Harnack Lukas der Arzt p. 116, Eng. Tr. p. 163 f., and cf. Milligan Documents , p. 168.
