The contracted form, which is found in the two NT occurrences of this word (Luke 13:29, Revelation 21:13), is almost universal in the Ptolemaic papyri, e.g. P Lille I. 1 recto.4 (B.C. 259–8) ἀπὸ νότου εἰς βορρᾶν , P Petr I. 21.11 and 18 (B.C. 237) ἀπὸ δὲ βορρᾶ , P Par 15.16 (B.C. 120) ἀπὸ βορρᾶ τοῦ δρόμου τοῦ [ἄ ]γοντος ἐπὶ ποταμὸν τῆς μεγίστης θεᾶς Ἥρας , and other examples in Mayser Gr. p. 252; but P Hib I. 27.59 (a calendar, B.C. 301–240) βορέαι πνείουσιν ὀρνιθίαι , ";the north winds which bring the birds are blowing."; P Leid Wxix. 24 has βορεας , some five centuries later, but it is always rare. Cf. Job 26:7, Sirach 43:17; Sirach 43:20. Priene 99.19 (c. B.C. 100) has τῆς στοᾶς τοῦ βαρέου : cf. Syll 552.70 (latter half of ii/A.D.) εἰς τὴν παραστάδα τὴν ἀπὸ δυσμῆς τῆς στοᾶς τῆς βορεί [ας —with corresponding adjective. From inscrr. cf. OGIS 176.8 (ii/i B.C.) ἐπὶ βορρᾶν , ib. 178.10 (ii/i B.C.) ἐπὶ βορᾶν , Michel 1357.9 (B.C. 300–299) βορρᾶθεν . The adj. βορινός occurs in P Oxy I. 43 verso i. 10 (after A.D. 295) ῥ (ύμῃ ) τῇ βοριν [ῇ ] ἐκκλησίᾳ ";North Church St,"; ib. III. 498.8 (ii/A.D.), al.; but in ib. VIII. 1112.22 (A.D. 188) βορ ̄[ι ]νοῖς implies ρρ , and so P Ryl II. 157.12 (A.D. 135). Thumb, Hellen. pp. 56, 65, notes that βορρᾶς is a Dorism in the Κοινή .
