Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
γογγύζω. This familiar LXX and NT word is fairly attested = ‘“*murmur” in the vernacular, as in P Petr II. 9(3)® (B.c. 241-39) τὸ πλήρωμα γογγύζει φάμενοι ἀδικεῖσθαι, “ the gang (of workmen) are murmuring, saying that they are being wronged.” In the curious papyrus P Oxy I. 33 {1 (late ii/A.D.), describing an interview between the Emperor (2? Marcus Aurelius) and a rebel, a veteran present interposes with the remark, κύριε, κάθῃ, Ρωμαῖοι yovyv{o[uc |, “*Lord, while you are sitting in judgement, the Romans are murmuring.” The verb is MGr. Thumb, He//ev. p. 215, discusses this and other alleged Ionic loans to the later A'tic and the Κοινή : see under γογγυσμός. YOY YVGLOS. Phrynichus (see Rutherford WP, p. 463) says that this noun, like its verb, was not ἀδόκιμον but Tonic: from Anaxandrides, a poet of the New Comedy. it is quoted
