μήτιγε. With μήτιγε in 1 Cor 68 μήτιγε βιωτικά, ““ποῖ to speak of mere affairs of daily life,” we may compare the corresponding μὴ ὅτι ye in P Lond 4258 (B.c. 168) (=I. p. 30, Selections, p. 10) ὡς ἔτ[ι] σοῦ παρ[όν]τος πάντων ἐπεδεόμῃν, μὴ ὅτι γε τοσούτου χρόνου ἐπιγεγονότος, ‘while you were still at home, I went short altogether, not to mention how long a time has passed since '’—the complaint of a wife to her husband. See also Herod. iv. 76.
