a bundle: δήσατε αὐτὰ εἰς δέσμας (D, Orig., omit εἰς, and Blass thinks original reading, δέσμας δέσμας; v. Deiss., LAE, 1254), Mt 13:30.†
Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
δέσμη is differently accented in our authorities. Mayser G7. pp. 285, 435, cites Herodian (ii/a.p.) in favour of δεσμή, but there are testimonies for δέσμη (see Lobeck Par. p. 396), and the oxytone might be a confusion with δεσμός. Δέσμη Thus P Petr 11. 25 (c)* (B.C. 226), 2. 39 (d)!* (iii/B.c.) τούτων χόρτου δεσμῶν oy, P Tebt I. 1228 (B.c. 96 or 63) χόρτον δέσμας 5 P Oxy IV. 742% (B.C. 2) ἀπόστειλόν plot] πόσας δέσμας παρείληφες, ‘“ssend me word how many bundles you have received” (Edd.), 262% τὴν χιλίαν δέσμην, ‘the 1ooo bundles” = bundle is common in Hellenistic.
