βλάπτω [page 112] For personal injury we may note such passages as P Lips I. 2 .6 (A.D. 99) ὀφθαλμὸν δεξιὸν βεβλαμμένος , P Grenf I. 33 .13 ( c B.C. 102) ἐβλαμμένος ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀμφοτέρους , P Flor I. 57 .63 (A.D. 223 5) τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐβλάβην (= III. 382), also perhaps ib. III. 302 .7 (A.D. 151) βεβλαμμ (ένος )] τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν δεξ [ιόν . It is curious that it should be thus specialised for injury to the eyes. The verb is common for damage in a legal sense. Thus P Petr III. 26 .8 ἀποτεισάτω ὁ κύριος τῶι βλαφθέντι τὸ βλάβος ὃ ἂν καταβλάψηι , the owner shall pay to the injured person the amount of damage done, BGU IV. 1057 .28 (A.D. 13) (= Chrest. II. p. 401) ἐκτίν (ειν ) αὐτοὺς ὃ ἐὰν πραχθῇ ἢ βλαβῇ , P Oxy II. 286 .11 (A.D. 82), ἐκτείσειν ὃ ἐὰν πραχθῶμεν ἢ βλαβῶμεν τούτων χάριν , paying us in full any loss or damage which we might incur in connexion with the transaction (Edd.), ib. I. 44 .8 (late i/A.D.) ὡς ἱκανὰ βλαπτομένων , on the plea that they had incurred sufficient loss already (Edd.). More general sense appears in P Flor II. 151 .11 (A.D. 267) μὴ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς στρατιώτης ἀποσταλῇ , καὶ ἄλλως ἐφόδιον βλαβῶσιν , lose their wages (?). It describes the material damage done by a riot in CP Herm I. 119 recto iv. 14 (A.D. 260 8), ἀφ᾽ ὧν οὐδὲν περ [ιγίνετ ]αι τῷ πολιτικῷ λόγῳ διὰ τὸ ἐξ ὁλοκλήρου βεβλάφθαι ἐν τοῖς πρόσθεν συμβεβηκόσι κατὰ τὴ [ν πό ]λειν ἀπευκταίοις τ̣α̣[ρ ]α̣χ̣οις .
