Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
αἰγιαλός. The word is common (MGr = ‘‘seashore”) ; but it may be noted that in P Tebt I. 79 (c. B.c. 148) it refers to the shore of Lake Moeris; in 26, 82 (B.C. 115) and 83 (late ii/u.c.) to the shore of a marshy lake then covering the neighbourhood of Medinet Nehds (see the editors’ note on p. 346). So P Fay 82? (a.D. 145), P Tebt II. 308° (A.D. 174). On the use of the term in Ac 27°9, see W. M. Ramsay St Paul, p. 341, and Expositor V. vi. p. 154 ff. P Fay 222 (iii/A.D.) is the beginning of a document addressed Φιλίππῳ αἰγιαλοφύλακι ᾿Αρσινοί[του]. We find γῆ αἰγιαλῖτις mentioned in P Oxy VI. g18™ti 19 (1i/a.p.), P Lond 9247 (a.p. 187-8) (=III. p. 134): Sir F. ἃ. Kenyon renders ‘land on the border of the lake.” , Αἰγύπτιος
