ὡραῖος, lit. “in season τ᾿ (Mt 2357, a/.): cf. PSI V. 5354} (Ρ 01.) ταρίχου ὡραίων ἀπολέκτων πεπονηκὸς Θάσι ον» κερ(άμιον) G, 20. 5587 (B.C. 257-6) σφόγγων ὡραίου κερ(άμιον) ἕν δέδωκεν, ὁ. 594% (iii/B.c.) ὡραίων κεράμια β, and Aazéde/ 8124 (ii/A.D.)— ὅπως ῥαδ]ινὴ διὰ παντός ἄμπελος ὡραῖον καρπὸν ἔχῃ βοτρύων. In P Goodsp Cairo 2‘ 4 (ii/A.D.) we have a medical fragment containing a warning against τῶν ὡραίων, “‘ ripe fruits,” where the editor notes the generally colourless character of @patos, and cites Athenaeus Dezpnosophistae 116E ὡραῖα sc. ταρίχη, meaning fish ‘pickled in the season.” For the derived meaning “in the bloom of youth,” “ beautiful,’’ cf. the magic P Lond 125 versol® (v/a.p.) (=I. p. 124) γυναῖκαν ... ὡραίαν καὶ [ν]έαν. In Sy//* 6684 (B.c. τ6ο-59) ἐν ὡραί[αι ἐκκλησίαι, the editor understands the adj. in the sense of tvvopos, νόμιμος. Tor the adj. ὥριμος, see P Tebt I. 54° (B.C. 86) κλήρου ἀρου(ρῶν) t. . ὡρίμου σπαρῆναι, «the holding of 10 arourae ready for sowing.
