Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Ostr 757.3 (B.C. 106–5) ἀπέχω παρὰ σοῦ οἴνου κεράμια δέκα ἕξ, P Oxy IX. 1211.5 (ii/A.D.) οἴνου εὐώδη κεράμ (ια) β ̄, ib, 1220.17 (iii/A.D.) γλυοῦ (";gum";) κεράμιον α ̄. According to Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 758 ff. the κεράμιον contained a fixed quantity of fluid, but in their note on P Petr III. 70 (a), the editors show that the amount was variable, as the papyrus refers to κεράμια of 5, 6, 7 and 8 χόες : cf. also Archiv iii. p. 435. For κεραμίς in the same sense see P Lond 1177.158 (A.D.113) (= III. p. 185) an account for κεραμείδων, the number required each month proving, as the editor points out, that ";jars"; for water and not ";tiles"; must be meant, and further explaining the countless number of ostraca found in Egypt. On the other hand in P Iand 12.3 (iii/iv A.D.) γινώσκιν σε θέλω περὶ τῶν κεραμίδων ὧν ἔγραψές μοι, the reference appears to be to ";tiles.";
