Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μονόφθαλμος is an Ionic compound (Herod, iii. 116 al.) condemned by the Atticists (Lob. Phryn. p. 136), but revived in the later vernacular (cf. Matthew 18:9, Mark 9:47). According to Ammonius it is to be distinguished from ἑτερόφθαλμος : ἑτερόφθαλμος μὲν γὰρ ὁ κατὰ περίπτωσιν πηρωθεὶς τὸν ἕτερον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν, μονόφθαλμος δὲ ὁ ἕνα μόνον ὀφθαλμὸν ἔχων ὡς ὁ Κύκλωψ (cited by Rutherford NP, p. 209 f.).
