Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

βυρσεύς [page 118] P Fay 121 .15 ( c. A.D. 100) τοῦ ] κυρτοῦ βυρσέως , the hunch-backed tanner. From βύρσα , hide, on the analogy of the gen. βύρσης , we find an acc. βύρσην , as P Petr II. introd. p. 37 ( d ) .7 : see Mayser Gr. p. 12, and cf. Proleg. p. 48. P Oxy VII. 1057 .3 (A.D. 362) has ἀπὸ τιμῆς βύρσας , where analogy has worked the other way. In P Petr II. 32 (1) a βυρσοδέψης , tanner, is also described as a σκυτεύς , cobbler : cf. the editor s note and Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 294.
