Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The subst. is used physically in Syll 891.12 (ii/A.D.) τοῦτόν τε θεὸς πατάξαι ἀπορίᾳ καὶ πυρετῷ καὶ ῥίγει καὶ ἐρεθισμῷ καὶ ἀνεμοφθορίᾳ κτλ.—a passage borrowed apparently from Deuteronomy 28:22. The verb is cognate with ὄρνυμι and orior : cf. the Epic ὀροθύνω (Boisacq Dict. Etym. p. 273 f.). It is used (in malam partem) in Epict. Enchir. 20.
