Περίληψη:
This paper deals with the statement of cause in Greek documentary papyri
of the Imperial Period. It studies the frequency of occurrence of the
adverbial designations, the detection of their position within the
clauses and the identification of the terms they define in Greek
non-literary papyri from 31 B.C. until 4th century. The examples come
from a body of approximately 30 000 Greek non-literary papyri texts and
ostraca. The search of the material was based on the online database
Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri (DDbDP), which includes all the
documentary papyri. In order to avoid possible mistakes in electronic
publications, the papyri texts were also checked by the printed volumes
of texts.
