μόγις [page 415]
Mayser ( Gr. p. 17) cites only one ex. of μόγις for μόλις (see s.v. μόλις ) from Ptolemaic times, P Magd 11 .6 (B.C. 221) (= Chrest. I. p. 520 ) μόγις ἕλκοντες τὸ πλοῖον ἠγάγομεν ἐπὶ τὸν ὅρμον τοῦ Ἀρσινοΐτου , hauling the vessel with difficulty we brought it to the harbour of Arsinoe. For later exx. see P Oxy II. 298 .19 (i/A.D.) μόγις (δραχμὰς ) χ̄ ἀπαιτήσας , P Lips I. 105 .10 (i/ii A.D.) μ̣όγις τὸν τῆς βεβρεγμένης ἀπήρτισα , P Strass I. 41 .51 (A.D. 250) μό [γι ]ς ἤ [χ ]θησαν , and PSI I. 49 .2 (vi/A.D.) μόγις μετὰ πολλῶν καμάτων . The adj. μογερός is well illustrated by Kaibel 151 .9 f.
τοῖός τοι θνητῶν μογερὸς βίος , ὧν ἀτέλεστοι
ἐλπίδες , αἷ [ς ] μοιρῶν νήματ᾽ ἐπικρέμαται .
