Vocabulary of the Greek NT

lit. ";in season"; (Matthew 23:27, al.) : cf. PSI V. 535.44 (Prol.) ταρίχου ὡραίων ἀπολέκτων πεπονηκὸς Θάσι <ον > κερ (άμιον) α ̄, ib. 598.7 (iii/B.C.257–6) σφόγγων ὡραίου κερ (άμιον) ̣ν δέδωκεν, ib. (iii/B.C.) ὡραίων κεράμια β ̄, and Kaibel 812.4 (ii/A.D.)—

ὅπως ῥαδ ]ινὴ διὰ παντός

ἄμπελος ὡραῖον καρπὸν ἔχῃ βοτρύων.

In P Goodsp Cairo 2i. 4 (ii/A.D.) we have a medical fragment containing a warning against τῶν ὡραίων, ";ripe fruits,"; where the editor notes the generally colourless character of ὡραῖος, and cites Athenaeus Deipnosophistae 116E ὡραῖα sc. ταρίχη, meaning fish ";pickled in the season."; For the derived meaning ";in the bloom of youth,"; ";beautiful,"; cf. the magic P Lond 125 verso 13 (v/A.D.) (= I. p. 124) γυναῖκαν. . . ὡραίαν καὶ [ν ]έαν. In Syll.3 668.4 (B.C. 160–59) ἐν ὡραί [αι ἐκκλησίαι, the editor understands the adj. in the sense of ἔννομος, νόμιμος. For the adj. ὥριμος, see P Tebt I. 54.6 (B.C. 86) κλήρου ἀρου (ρῶν) ι ̄ . . ὡρίμου σπαρῆναι, ";the holding of 10 arourae ready for sowing.";
