ἀπερισπάστως [page 57] The adj. is common. Thus P Grenf. I. 11 ii. 3 (B.C. 157) τούτου δὲ γενομένου καὶ ἀπερίσπαστος ὢν δυνήσομαι ἀπροφασίστως εἰς τὸ βασιλικὸν τὰ ἐκφόρια ἀπομετρῆσαι . P Oxy II. 286 .17 (A.D. 82) ὅπως παρέχωνται ἡμᾶς ἀπερισπάστους [καὶ ] ἀπαρενοχλήτους ὑπὲρ τῆς προκειμένης ὀφειλῆς καὶ ἀποδώσειν ταῦτα , in order that they may secure us against any liability or trouble in connexion with the aforesaid debt, and may repay it (Edd.). In P Oxy VI. 898 .15 (A.D. 123) ὑποθέσθαι ὅσα ἔχω ἐν τῇ Ὀάσε̣[ι ] κτήματα [λα ]βόντα τοῦ Διοσκόρο [υ ] γράμματα ἀπερ [ισπ ]άστου , the editors translate to mortgage all my property in the Oasis in return for a deed of release received from Dioscorus, and explain γράμματα ἀπερισπάστου as a deed of indemnification, distinguished by the formula ἀπερίσπαστον παρέξεσθαι or some equivalent phrase. In l. 18 of this same papyrus the deed is called ἡ ἀπερίσπαστος simply. The development of meaning is exactly like that of our security, in the commercial sense. Other examples of the word are P Rein 18 .40 (B.C. 108), BGU IV. 1057 .22 (Aug.), P Lond 932 .9 (A.D. 211) (= III. p. 149), and P Amh II. 101 .10 (early iii/A.D.), etc.
