ὁλόκληρος [page 446] ὁλόκληρος is common of material or physical soundness and completeness, e.g. P Lond 935 .7 (A.D. 216 or 217) (= III. p. 30) ὁλοκλήρου οἰκίας , P Oxy I. 57 .13 (iii/A.D.) ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὁλόκληρον (ποιῆσαι ) τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν τῶν χωμάτων καὶ διωρύχων , towards the completion of the survey of the dykes and canals (Edd.), ib. XIV. 1772 .3 (late iii/A.D.) μεθ᾽ ὧν εὔχομαί σε ὁλόκληρον ἀπολαβεῖν , and from the inscrr. OGIS 519 .14 ( c. A.D. 245) χωρίον ὑμέτερόν ἐσμεν ἱερώτατ [ον καὶ ὡσπερεὶ δῆ ]μος ὁλόκληρος . An interesting parallel to 1Th_5:23 is afforded by the magic P Lond 121 .590 (iii/A.D.) (=1. p. 103) διαφύλασσέ μου τὸ σῶμα τὴν ψυχὴν ὁλόκληρον : cf. Epict. iv. i. 151 ἔτι τιμῶ τὸ σωμάτιον , ὁλόκληρον αὐτὸ ἔχειν ἀντὶ πολλοῦ ποιοῦμαι , I still pay regard to my body, I set a great value on keeping it whole (cited by Sharp, p. 54). The Biblical use is discussed by Milligan, Thess. P. 78. MGr ὁλάκερος has lost the second λ through dissimilation (Thumb, Handbook , p. 23).
