ἀπόκρισις [page 65]
Syll 276 .28 (Lampsacus, c. B.C. 195) . . . ὅταν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ λ ]άβωσιν ἀποκρίσεις τὰς ἁρμοζούσας τ [ . . ., ib. 177 .62 (Teos, B.C. 303) οἰόμεθα δὲ [δεῖν ἀποδειχθῆ ]ναι τρεῖς ἄνδρας εὐθὺς ὅταν [ἡ ] ἀπόκ [ρι ]σις ἀναγνωσθῆι , ib. 314 .15 (ii/B.C., Messenian dialect) ἔδοξε τοῖς συνέδροις ἀπόκρισιν δόμεν διότι κτλ ., ib. 928 .21 (Magnesia, ii/B.C. init. ) τὴν Μυλασέων ἀπόκρισιν to the praetor M. Aemilius. From the papyri we can only cite P Oxy VI. 941 .9 (vi/A.D.), and other late exx. : like the verb, this word for answer clearly suffered eclipse, and returned into the language at a late period.
[Supplemental from 1930 edition]
For ἀποκρίτως , see P Oxy XII. 1467 .22 (A.D. 263), with note.
