II. 59179 .9 (B.C. 255) οἱ [συ ]νταξάμενοι ( those who agreed to appear ) οὐ σονήντησαν ἐπὶ τὴν [κρίσιν , P Lille I. 13 .2 (B.C. 244 3) ὁ παρὰ Νίκωνος σιτολόγος οὐ συναντῶν ( ne se trouvant pas lΰ ), PSI IV. 438 .25 (iii/B.C.) διὸ οὐ συναντῶσιν , and P Hamb I. 25 .11 (B.C. 238) ἀνακληθεὶς οὖν Κάλας τέτακται συναντήσ̣εσθαι πρὸς σέ , and similarly .16 .
