This Ionic form, which is found in Matthew 6:30, Luke 12:28 (and always in the LXX) for the Attic κρίβανος, is supported by P Petr III. 140 (a).3 (Ptol.) ξύλα κλιβάνωι, of a furnace fed with logs of wood, the word κλιβάνωι being inserted above the line, P Grenf I. 21.14 (B.C. 126) εἰς κλιβάνου τόπον, and BGU IV. 1117.10 (B.C. 13) κτήσεως σὺν τοῖς ἐν αὐτῷ κλιβάν [οις δυσί ]ν τε καὶ κλιβανικοῖς σκεύεσσιν. This last document also shows .8, .24 κλιβάνιον, and an adj. κλιβανικός. See also Crönert Mem. Herc. p. 77 n.4. The word is probably of Semitic origin (Lewy Fremdwörter, p. 105 f.).
