νέος [page 424] For the relation of νέος to καινός in the papyri see s.v. καινός . The two words are found together, according to the editor s restoration, in P Flor III. 369 .2 (A.D. 139 149) ἐκ [κ (αι )]νῆς καὶ νέας περ̣ι̣[σ ]τάσεω̣ς . The adj. is applied to the new year in P Strass II. 91 .18 (B.C. 87 ?) τοῦ νέου ἔτους , and in the letter of an anxious wife to her husband, P Giss I. 19 .11 (ii/A.D.) τῆι ᾱ [ἡμέρᾳ ] τοῦ νέου ἔτους νὴ τὴν σὴν [σωτη ]ρ̣ίαν ἄ [γ ]ευστος ἐκοιμώμην , on the first day of the new year I swear by your safety I went to bed without tasting food, although, as the editor points out, that day was generally regarded as a laeta dies (Ovid Fasti i. 87). For νέος in relation to crops cf. P Oxy III. 500 .19 (A.D. 130) ἐγ νέων [γε ]νημάτων , and ib. VII. 1024 .35 (A.D. 129) ἐκ νέων ἀποδώσει τὰς ἴσας , he shall repay an equivalent amount out of the new crop (Ed.). An inscr. from Akoris (Teneh) marks the state of the water of the river Nile as τὸ ἐπ [άγαθ ]ον γόνιμ [ον ] νέον ὕδωρ ( Preisigke 991 .5 A.D. 290). On the use of νέος to denote a full-grown man of military age, see Ramsay Teaching , p. 41, and on the Νέοι as a social club of men over twenty (as contrasted with the ῎ Εφηβοι on the one hand and the Γερουσία on the other), see the same writer in C. and B. i. p. 110 f. : cf. also OGIS 339 .31 ( c. B.C. 120) γυμνασίαρχός τε αἱρεθεὶς τῆς τε εὐταξίας τῶν ἐφήβων καὶ τῶν νέων προενοήθη , and Syll 524 ( = .3 959) .5 (ii/B.C.) οἵδε ] ἐνίκων τῶν τε παίδων καὶ τῶν ἐφήβω [ν καὶ τῶν ] νέων τοὺς τιθεμένους ἀγῶνας the νέων being described elsewhere in this document as ἀνδρῶν . The reading Νέαν Πόλιν (for Νεάπολιν ), which is adopted by the critical editors in Act_16:11 , is supported by inscrr. from B.C. 410 onwards : see Meisterhans Gr. p. 137, Winer-Schmiedel Gr. P. 37.
