Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
δίψος [page 166]
Nδgeli (p. 14) draws attention to the act that the word δίψος , which is praised by the Schol. on Il . 19 .166 as Attic, in contrast to the Ionic δίψα , is found also in the LXX and Epictetus. In the LXX the two words are used interchangeably, e.g. Wis_11:4 δίψης , . Wis_11:8 δίψους : Amo_8:11 δίψαν , . Amo_8:13 δίψει : see Thackeray Gr. i. p. 157. In a medical fragment, P Tebt II. 272 .17 (late ii/A.D.), we have, κριθήσεται δὲ [ο ]ὕτως ἔχον ἐὰν τοῦ κατὰ τὸν [π ]υρετὸν μεγέθους μᾶλλον [π ]αραύξηται τὸ δίψος , such will be judged to be the case if the increase of thirst is out of proportion to the height of the fever (Edd.), cf. .20 (cited above under ἀνεξίκακος ) μὴ ῢ̣̣π̣ο̣μ̣ένοι τὸ δι̣ψ̣[ος . In P Flor II. 176 .12 (iii/A.D.) δίψα is used in connexion with the dryness of figs ἐκ τῆς τῶν σύκων κακίας καὶ ξηρότητος καὶ δίψης . MGr has δίψα .
