In the NT (1 Timothy 4:4 al., cf. Wisdom of Solomon 9:2) κτίσμα seems to be always used in a concrete sense = ";created thing,"; ";creature,"; but for the meaning ";foundation"; we may cite P Lond 121.483 (iii/A.D.) (= I. p. 99) ἐπάνω τῶν τεσσάρων κτισμάτων τοῦ κόσμου, BGU I. 3.19 (A.D. 605) τὰ ἀναλωθέντα παρὰ σοῦ εἰς τὸ κτίσμα τῆς ἐκεῖσε ἐπαύλεως.
