Ευθεωσ Beyond the Temporal Meaning 27 Appian, Roman History IV 17.135: περιέβαλέ τε τῇ ἀρίστῃ φοινικίδι εὐθύσ, (Antony found the body of Brutus) and wrapped it in the best purple garment as a matter of course.11 Papyrus 7950 [II AD]: εὐχαριστῶ τῷ κυρίῳ σεράπιδι ὅτι μοῦ κινδυνεύσαντοσ εἰσ θάλασσαν ἔσωσε εὐθέωσ, I am thankful to my mas- ter Sarapis that when I got in danger at sea he rescued me competently.12 Below one finds a survey of the rare cases in the NT where both εὐθέωσ and εὐθύσ (twice ἐξαυτῆσ) are the last word of a phrase or sentence. Most of them are variant readings. John 13:30 and Phil 2:23 happen to be the only cases in N28.

See LSJ B I 1. This concerns both εὐθύσ and εὐθέωσ in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Note that local Attic εὐθύ becomes local εὐθύσ in the later periods. 11 Appian, Roman History, uses αὐτίκα (at once, forthwith, immediately, quickly, speedily) twice as often as εὐθύσ (29 times, compared to 13 times, in book IV). It seems that his εὐθύσ does not have a temporal meaning. In fact the English translation by H. White (LCL 5) leaves εὐθύσ untranslated on more than one occasion (e.g. in IV 6.51 and 17.135). 12 Papyrus 7950, BGU 2 (1898), number 423,6‑8. Some Apion to his father Epimachus. First of all Apion inquires after his father’s health and that of his sister and brother, then he relates his rescue, and what had befallen him thereafter. For the meaning of the verb σῴζω see Louw-Nida, Lexicon, § 21.18, 241): “to rescue from danger and to restore to a former state of safety and well being.” This also applies to Mark 3:5 with ἀποκατεστάθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ εὐθέωσ ac­cording to D.05.
