I had to respond again on line to thank for that. This reference is absolute gold. I feel somewhat sheepish that I didn't know it existed.

* if anyone else does know a Greek text pre-Paul (or the inverse "man of one woman") still very interested to hear.
Thank you.

Yes, you are subscribed -- again, after lo these many years, and daring to follow up on a question from 17 years ago when this list was still in its "puppy" days! Welcome back!

My own search of the archives doesn't find any follow-up on the question.
> Fourth - I know b-greek isn't really the place for a Latin resources question, but I'm a technophobe and have been on Mars for the last few years, so please forgive this. Is there a way of conducting a search string on "UNIUS VIRI UXOR" (whole phrase) among the Latin materials on Perseus?
"univira" is, I think, a not uncommon adjective of praise on epitaphs of Roman women. There's an echo of this in the celebrated elegy of Propertius on Cornelia:
Propertius 4.12.67-68:
filia, tu specimen censurae nata paternae,
fac teneas unum nos imitata uirum.
