Abstract

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.
