βλαβερός [page 112] P Goodsp Cairo 2 i. 6 (a medical fragment ii/A.D.) ὃ τῶν ὡραίων ἡμᾶς ἀποξενοῦντες ὡς βλαβερώτερον , who warn us against ripe fruits as being very harmful (Ed.). Syll 220 .14 (iii/B.C.) τὴν πᾶσαν πρόνοιαν ἐποεῖτο τοῦ μηθὲν βλαβερὸν γίνεσθαι πε [ρ ]ὶ τὴν χώραν . The noun βλάβος may be cited from P Ryl II. 126 .19 (A.D. 28 9) ἐξ οὗ βλάβος μοι ἐπηκλούθ (ησεν ) οὐκ ὀλίγον , P Oxy X. 1282 .40 (A.D. 83) τό τε βλάβος καὶ ἐπίτειμον , the damages and a fine , BGU II. 538 .17 (A.D. 100) βλάβος μηιδὲν ποιῶν , and in the common formula τά τε βλάβη καὶ δαπανήματα , e.g. BGU III. 1001 .13 (B.C. 56 5). Note the uncontracted plur. in P Tor II. 13 .14 (B.C. 137), in this formula. Mayser ( Gr. p. 287) quotes many other instances of the neuter, which he says stands alone in Ptolemaic times, except for P Par 15 .37 (B.C. 120) εἰς βλάβας : add P Amh II. 33 .19 ( c. B.C. 157) ἐπὶ βλάβῃ τῶν προσόδων . So from later papyri, P Oxy III. 488 .19 (ii/iii A.D.) οὐκ ὀλίγην βλάβην ὑπ̣οφέρει με , BGU I. 72 .12 (A.D. 191) οὗ χολικὴν βλάβην ἐπεκολούθησεν . Moeris (p. 103) makes βλάβος Attic, and βλάβη (which has driven its rival out by the end of iv/A.D.) Hellenistic. A literary quotation for the latter may be added from PSI II. 120 .20 (? iv/A.D. a collection of maxims) ἀμύνου τὸν ἐ [χθ ]ρὸν ἄνευ τῆς σεαυτοῦ βλάβη [ς . A glance at LS will dispose of the Atticist s contention.
