μηδείς [page 409] According to Thumb ( Hellen. p. 14) the forms μηθείς and οὐθείς appear in the whole Greek world from iv/B.C. , and are in wide use at the beginning of the Christian Era, after which they gradually disappear, without leaving any trace in MGr. We are prepared, therefore, to find that the forms in θ are more frequent in the LXX than in the NT, where there are only a few examples of οὐθείς (principally in the Lucan writings), and only one of μηθείς , namely Act_27:33 according to ΰ BA. A few exx. of μηθείς from the papyri will suffice P Petr II. 11(1) .3 (mid. iii/B.C.) (= Selections , p. 7) εἰ δυνατόν ἐστιν καὶ μηθέν σε τῶν ἔργων κωλύει , if it is possible and none of your work hinders you, P Lond 42 .24 (B.C. 168) (=I. p. 30, Selections , p. 11) μηθὲν σοῦ ἀπεσταλκότος , P Leid B ii. 7 (B.C. 164) (= I. p. 10) εἰς τὸ μηθὲν ἡμᾶς τῶν δεόντων ἐγλιπεῖν , ib. .21 ἄλλως δὲ τῷ (for dat. cf. 2Co_2:13 ) μηθὲν᾽ ἔχειν πλὴν τοῦ Πτολεμαίου , P Ryl II. 69 .16 (B.C. 34) πρὸς τὸ μηθὲν τῶν ἐκφορίων διαπεσεῖν , so that the rents suffer no loss (Edd.), P Oxy III. 492 .10 (A.D. 130) μηθὲν ἧσσον , and similarly ib. 495 .17 (A.D. 181 9). This last is pronounced by Thackeray ( Gr. i. P. 59) the latest date for θ . It should be noted that both in this and the preceding papyrus (and other instances could be cited) the form μηδείς also occurs, and further, as our citations will have shown, that θ retained its hold more tenaciously in the neut. nom. and acc, than elsewhere (Thackeray, Gr. i. p. 59). For the interchange between μηδείς and μηθείς in Ptolemaic times, see especially Mayser Gr. p. 180 ff. See also s.v. οὐδείς .
