μικρός. In P Leid ΝΕ ΙΝ (8.6. 103) (=I. p. 69) we hear of a Nexovtrns μικρός in a context which shows, according to the editor (p. 74), that the reference is to age rather than to stature: see further Deissmann 4S p. 144 f. Other exx. are not so clear. P Gen I. 284 (a.p. 136) ἀγ]οράσαι παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Στοτοήτιος ἐπικαλουμένου Μικροῦ πυρόν, is not encouraging to the meaning 7zm2o07, though, after all, there is no reason why “‘ Stotoetis junior ” should not be the | father of a family. In any case the frequent occurrence of the formula makes it probable that it has a constant meaning: | see P Eleph 174 (B.C. 223-222) ΤΠρενέβθιος ᾿Ιστφήνιος kal Ψεντεὴς μικρὸς ἀπολέγονται τὴν γῆν KTA., P Tebt I. 63°° (B.C. 116-115) γεω(ργὸς) ἹΠετερμοῦθις μι(κρὸς) “Appevéws, and P Goodsp Cairo 3011: 38 (A.D. 191-2) μικρῷ ᾿Αφροδ(ισίῳ), vill. 8° Αφροδ(ισίῳ) καμηλί(είτῃ) μικ(ρῷ), ᾿Αφροδ. μικ. guarer
