Vocabulary of the Greek NT

frequent in the LXX but in the NT confined to Revelation 18:13 = ";fine wheaten flour"; (cf. Pliny HN xiii. 21 ";similago ex tritico fit laudatissimo’) : cf. P Oxy IV. 736.82 (c. A.D. 1) σεμιδάρεως (l. σεμιδάλεως) ξηρᾶς (ἡμιωβέλιον), BGU IV. 1067.15 (A.D. 102) σεμιδάλεω (ς) ἀρτάβας τρεῖ [ς, and P Lond 190.45 (list of provisions—iii/A.D. ?) (= II. p. 255) σ [εμί ]δαλιν. For σεμιδαλίτης ἄρτος, ";fine wheaten bread,"; see P Petr III. 61 (g).6 (iii/B.C.). Apparently σεμίδαλις, with Lat. simila of the same meaning, is borrowed from some Mediterranean tongue (Boisacq p. 859).
