82.3 · Spacial Orientations · North, South, East, West
north In most languages east and west are related to the rising or setting sun, although in some languages there may be some local geographical feature which serves as a marker of direction, for example, the location of a particular mountain, the ocean, or a river. For north, some languages employ ‘to the left of the rising sun,’ that is to say, the direction is oriented in terms of the left hand of a person facing toward the rising sun. Similarly, south would be ‘to the right of the rising sun.’

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
βορρᾶς. The contracted form, which is found in the two NT occurrences of this word (Lk 1355, Rev 2118), is almost universal in the Ptolemaic papyri, 6. g. P Lille I. 1 vecfo* (B.c. 259-8) ἀπὸ νότου εἰς βορρᾶν, P Petr I, 2111 and 18 (p.c, 237) ἀπὸ δὲ βορρᾶ, P Par 1515 (B.c. 120) ἀπὸ βορρᾶ τοῦ δρόμου τοῦ [ἄ]γοντος ἐπὶ ποταμὸν τῆς μεγίστης θεᾶς “Hpas, and other examples in Mayser Gr. p. 252; but P Hib I. 25 (a calendar, B.C. 301-240) βορέαι πνείουσιν ὀρνιθίαι, ‘the north winds which bring the birds are blowing.’ P Leid W*ix. 24 has βορεας, some five centuries later, but it is always rare. Cf. Job 267, Sir 4317, *°, Pyzene 9919 (c. B.C. 100) has τῆς στοᾶς τοῦ βορέου : cf.

Thumb, He//ex. pp. 56, 65, notes that βορρᾶς is a Dorism in the Κοινή.
