ὁποῖος [page 453]
ὁποῖος , though very common in classical Greek, shows a marked tendency to disappear in later Greek. According to Meisterhans ( Gr. p. 237) it ts not found in the Attic inscrr. from B.C. 300 onwards. The word occurs quinquies in the NT : cf. P Oxy I. 118 verso .17 (late iii/A.D.) εἰδὼς δὲ ὁποία ἐστὶν καὶ ἡ ξενία , you know what hospitality requires (Edd.), and BGU IV. 1027 xxvi. 11 cited s.v. ὄλεθρος . Note the curious combination ὅτι ὁποίαν in P Gen I. 54 .1 ff. (iv/A.D.) οἶδας τὴν προέ (= αί )ρεσίν μοι ὅτι ὁποίαν προέ (= αί )ρεσιν ἔχω καὶ οἶδας τὴν γνώμην μου ὅτι γν [ώ ]μη ὁποία ἐστιν .
