Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

δένδρον [page 140] The heteroclite pl. δένδρη occurs in P Hal I. 1 .99 ( c. B.C. 250), where it is laid down that one who plants an olive or a fig-tree must do it 9 ft. from his neighbour s boundary, τ [ὰ δ᾽ ἄλλα δένδρη πέντε [πό ]δας . So in Syll 802 .121 (iii/B.C.) where a blind man incubating in the Asclepieum dreamed that the god pulled his eyes open with his fingers, καὶ ἰδεῖν τὰ δένδρη πρᾶτον τὰ ἐν τῶι ἱαρῶι : the resemblance in language to Mar_8:24 may be noted. The same inscr. tells of a man who fell ἀπὸ τοῦ δένδρεος (l. .91 he had climbed ἐπὶ δένδρεόν τι in l. .90 ) : Attic preserved the dat. pl. δένδρεσι . Perhaps by fusion of δένδρεον and δένδρος (neut.) the regular δένδρον arose, which is normal in Hellenistic. Thus Syll 535 .16 (Boeotian late iv/B.C.) τὰ δένδρα ὅσ᾽ ἂν εἶ ἐν τῶι χωρίωι , ib. 532 .13 (Ionic early iv/B.C.) δένδρα ἕμερα μὴ κόπτεν tame trees are the opposite of wild , ib. 790 .73 (i/B.C.), etc. It is needless to quote papyri for the word. MGr δέντρο , also δεντρί ( i.e. δενδρίον ) and diminutive δεντράκι .
