βλαβερός. P Goodsp Cairo 2% δ (a medical fragment—ii/A.p.) ot τῶν ὡραίων ἡμᾶς ἀποξενοῦντες ὡς βλαβερώτερον, “who warn us against ripe fruits as being very harmful” (Ed.). Syd/ 220'4 (iii/B.C.) τὴν πᾶσαν πρόνοιαν ἐποεῖτο τοῦ μηθὲν βλαβερὸν γίνεσθαι περ] τὴν χώραν. The noun βλάβος may be cited from P Ryl II. 12619 (a.p, 28-9) ἐξ οὗ βλάβος μοι ἐπηκλούθι σεν) οὐκ ὀλίγον, P Oxy X. 12824 (a.p. 83) τό τε βλάβος kal ἐπίτειμον, ‘the damages and a fine”, BGU II. 538%? (a.p. 100) βλάβος μηιδὲν ποιῶν, and in the common formula τά te βλάβη καὶ δαπανήματα, e.g. BGU III. 1oo1® (B.c. 56-5). Note the uncontracted plur. in P Tor II. 1314 (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%? (8,6. 120) els βλάβας: add P Amh 11. 3319 (e.

ΠΕ (Ρ. 103) makes βλάβος Attic, and βλάβη (which has driven its rival out by the end of iv/a.p.) Hellenistic. A literary quotation for the latter may be The, ᾿ τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν δεξ[ιόν. 2 βλάσφημος added from PSI IT. 120” (Ὁ iv/A.p.—a collection of maxims) ἀμύνου τὸν ἐϊχθ]ρὸν ἄνευ τῆς σεαυτοῦ BAGBn[s. A glance at LS will dispose of the Atticist’s contention.
