ὥστε. 1. For the construction c. inf. denoting result ‘‘so as to,” the stress being laid on the dependence of the result on its cause (cf. Mt 834, Lk 439, a/.) we may cite BGU I. 2718 (ii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 101) καθ᾽ ἡμέραν προσδεχόμ[ε]θα διμι[σ]σωρίαν, ὥστε ἕως σήμερον μηδέν᾽ ἀπολελύσθαι τῶν μετὰ σίτου, ‘‘daily we are waiting for our discharge, so that up till to-day no one of us in the corn service has been let go,” P Oxy X. 127914 (A.D. 139) ἐπιδέχομαι μισθώσασθαι ἐκ τοῦ δημοσίου. . . ἀρούρας τρεῖς... ὥστε κατ᾽ ἔτος σπεῖραι καὶ ξυλαμῆσαι οἷς ἐὰν αἱρῶμαι, “1 consent to lease from the State three arourae, on condition that I may sow and plant the land with any crop which I choose” (Edd.), 24. 12557 (A.D. 292) ἐπειθεμένου σου ἡμῖν ὥστε ἐν ἀσφαλεῖ ἔχειν τοὺς καρποὺς ἐν ταῖς ἁλωνίαις, “‘having been enjoined by you to keep in safety the crops at the threshing floors” (Edd.), 26. VI. 8911? (A.D. 294) ἔδοξεν ὥστε σὲ μὲν προστῆναι, ‘‘it was decided you should preside”’ (Edd.), For the omission of ὥστε before the inf. (as in Ac 58, Col 4°, Heb 5°, 61°), cf. P Oxy III. 5264 (ii/A.p.) οὐκ ἤμην ἀπαθὴς ἀλόγως σε καταλείπιν, “1 was not so unfeeling as to leave you without reason” (Edd.). 2. For the strict consecutive ὥστε c. ind. (as in Jn 375, Gal 215), cf. P Oxy XIV. 1672° (A.D. 37-41) πεπράκαμεν χό(ας) AB ξένοις προσώποις ἐν ols ἣν καὶ πολλὰ λέα οἰνάρια [[ὥστε]] ἐκ (δραχμῶν) ε μετὰ χάριτος, ὥστε αἱ πράσεις ἡμῶν καλλιότεραι γεγ[όϊνασι λείαν, καὶ ἐλπίζομεν ὅτι καλλιότεραι τούτων γενήσονται, ‘we sold 32 choes to some strangers, including a quantity of quite thin wine, at the rate of 5 drachmae, thankfully, so that our sales have become much more favourable, and we hope that they will become more favourable than this” (Edd.). 3. The consecutive ὥστε c. subj., as in 1 Cor 58, may be illustrated by BGU III. 8741 (Byz.) ἄλλοτε γεγράφηκα ὑμῖν ὥστε πέμψηται (/. πέμψητε) εἰς ΤΤαρμοῦθιν καὶ δέξηται (Δ ϑέξησθε) τὰ δύο χρύσινα παρὰ τοῦ διάκονος, and with the imper., as in 1 Cor 35}, by P Oxy X. 1293} (A.D. 117-138) ἔδει αὐτῶι διδώναι (/. διδόναι) ὥστε τοῦ λοιποῦ ὠφέλ(ε)ια γράφεται (λ. γράφετε), ‘you ought to have given him (a letter); so in future write” (Edd.). 4. Some miscellaneous exx. may be added. For ὥστε = “namely,” cf. P Ryl 11. 7514 (late ii/A.p.) an account of judicial proceedings, where the prefect decides, τύπος ἐστὶν καθ᾽ ὃν ἔκρεινα πολλάκις Kal τοῦτο δίκαιον εἶναί μοι φαίνεται ἐπὶ τῶν ἐ[[κ]]ξιστανο-[[με]]μένων, ὥστε, εἴ τι ἐπὶ περιγρ[α]φῇ τῶν δανιστῶν ἐποίησαν, ἄκοιρον εἶναι, “there is a principle according to which I lave often judged and which seems to me fair in the case of those who resign their property, namely, that if they have done anything to defraud their creditors, the resignation shall not be valid” (Edd.). For dore= ὡς, cf. 26. 15 51 (A.D. 138-161) ὥστε ἐὰν αἱρῆται, ‘‘as she pleases.”’ For ὥστε eis, cf. P Hal I. 74 (B.c, 232) ὥστε els [ξέ]νια φοίνικας, ““dates for gifts to guests.’’ With this last passage cf. the banker’s receipt P Tebt II. 280% (B.c. 126) Ἡρακλείδει τρα(πεζίτῃ) ὥστε βασιλεῖ παρὰ Σοκονώπιος, ““ Sokonobis to Heraclides the banker for the king” (Edd.), and P Lond 848 verso? (A.D. 213?) (= III. p. 209) δὸς Λάδωνι ὥστε τῇ γυναῖκι ᾿Αγαθείνου ἐρίων πόκους πέντε, “give to Ladon for the wife of Agathinus five fleeces.

ὥστε (hōste) — so. ὥστε, as adverb, bearing the same relation to ὡς as ὅστε to ὅς, and used by [Refs 8th c.BC+] more frequently than ὡς in similes, when it is commonly written divisim, and is relative to a demonstrative ὥς: sometimes with present Indic., [Refs 8th c.BC+]: sometimes with aorist, ὥς τε λέων ἐχάρη [Refs]subjunctive present or aorist, [Refs 8th c.BC+]: all three usages combined in one simile, with varied construction, [Refs 8th c.BC+]:—the verb is sometimes omitted, λάμφ᾽ ὥς τε στεροπή [Refs] is chiefly Epic dialect [Refs 5th c.BC+], but it occurs in [Refs 7th c.BC+]
