(= I. p. 80) τὸν ἰδαῖον τῆς ἀριστερᾶς σου χειρὸς δάκτυλον is a reference to mythical magicians, the Δάκτυλοι Ἰδαῖοι , whose name is transferred to one of the fingers. With Luke 11:20 cf. the ostracon charm of the late Empire, cited by Deissmann LAE, p. 309, . . . ἐξ ]ορκίζω κατὰ τοῦ δακτύλου τοῦ θεοῦ , εἵνα μὴ ἀναχάνη αὐτῷ , ";I adjure . . . by the finger of the god that he open not his mouth to him."; The word is found as a measure of length in the new classical fragment P Oxy IV. 669 (iii/A.D.) : cf. the use of δακτυλιστής in P Fay 112.11 (A.D. 99), where the editors suggest ";measurer"; as a possible meaning, and similarly in P Amh II. 126.32 (early ii/A.D.).
