Liddell-Scott-Jones Definitions

ἐλαία,

I Att. ἐλάα, ἡ,

1. olive-tree, Hom., esp. in Od., 11.590, al.; ἱερὴ ἐ. 13.372, cf. Pi. O. 3.13, Hdt. 8.55, S. OC 701 (lyr.), etc.; ἡμέρη ἐλαίη Hdt. 5.82 (opp. ἀγρία ἐ. or κότινος) φέρεσθαι ἐκτὸς τῶν ἐλαῶν to run beyond the olives, which stood at the end of the Athenian racecourse, i.e. to go too far, Ar. Ra. 995, ubi v. Sch.; of the Indian Olea cuspidata, Thphr. HP 4.4.11.

2. variety of δάφνη 111, ib. 4.7.2, Str. 16.3.6.

II olive, Ar. Ach. 550, Pl. R. 372c, D. 18.262, Dsc. 1.119, etc. — Acc. to Gramm. ἐλάα was the proper form in this sense, ἐλαία in the first; but ἐλάα is simply the Att. form, cf. IG 12.94.33, 2.476.21, 1055.36 (also PHal. 1.98 (iii B.C.), etc.).

III naevus on the skin, Melamp. p.508F. = δίφρου Κυρηναϊκοῦ μέρος, Hsch. [In ἐλάα, the penult. is long, E. Fr. 360.46, Ar.

Fr. 162, and found in PRyl. 97.7 (ii A.D.), ἐλᾶν in 130.11 (i A.D.) — should be restored), and ᾰ in ἐλάη, AP 4.2.12 (Phil.), 6.102 (Id.).]

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In the magical spell for casting out demons, P Par 574.1229 (iii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 113), the instruction is given–βάλε ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ κλῶνας ἐλαίας, ";place before him (i.e. the possessed one) branches of the olive-tree."; See also CP Herm I. 28.14 ἐλαῖα [ι ] ἐσκορπισμέναι ζωφυτοῶσαι ζ ̄. The word refers to the fruit, as in James 3:12, in P Hib I. 49.8 (c. B.C. 257) ὅπως ἂν ἐμβάληται τὰς ἐλαίας εἰς βίκους, P Fay 130.16 (iii/A.D.) κεράμιν ἐλεῶν (l. ἐλαιῶν), P Oxy XII. 1494.16 (early iv/A.D.) ἀγοράσω ἐλέας κνίδια π ̣αλεά, ";I will buy some old jars of olives"; (Edd.), where the sense is collective as in the next exx. For contracted forms from a nom. ἐλάα, see P Ryl II. 97.7 (A.D. 139) τὸν δὲ κατασπασμὸν τῆς ἐλᾶς ποησόμεθα, ";we will perform the gathering of the olives,"; ib. 130.11 (A.D. 31) ἐτρύγησαν ἐκ τῶν καρπῶν οὐκ ὀλίγην ἐλᾶν, ";they gathered of the fruits a quantity of olives,"; and ib. 231.4 (A.D. 40) τὴν ἐλᾶν.
