OR-C-2026-009 · CORRECTION
THE PUBLISHED CLAIM
Epiousios appears nowhere else in ancient Greek literature.
THE CORRECTED BOUNDARY
It appears nowhere outside the Lord’s Prayer and the Didache’s quotation of it—a narrower and defensible claim.
THE CORRECTION · WHY THE CLAIM MOVED
The single supposed occurrence elsewhere—a word beside grocery items in an Egyptian account papyrus (Sammelbuch 5224.20)—was a misreading. When the papyrus resurfaced at Yale in 1998, the word was elaiou, oil.
Origen, writing in Greek in the third century, already reported that he could find the word in no Greek author or common speech (On Prayer 27.7). The substance held; the wording did not.
THE RECORD STATE

TRANSFER STATUS
The correction is public. Its source-linked as-run report is not yet published in this Record. The wording above is transferred from the supplied standing register; it is not a substitute for the report.
SUPERSESSION
It supersedes no earlier published entry and has not been superseded. If that changes, both directions of the chain will remain visible here.
