Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
διψος. Nageli (p. 14) draws attention to the act that the word δίψος, which is praised by the Schol. on //. 1918° 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. Wisd 114 δίψης, ὃ δίψους : Am 8!) δίψαν, 13 δίψει : see Thackeray Gy. i. p. 157. In a medical fragment, P Tebt II. 2721} (late ii/a.p.), we have, κριθήσεται δὲ [οὕτως ἔχον ἐὰν Tod 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. 39. (cited above under. ἀνεξίκακος) μὴ ὑπομένοι τὸ δίψος. In P Flor II. 1767? (ili/a.p.) δίψα is used in connexion with the ‘‘dryness” of figs—ék τῆς τῶν σύκων κακίας καὶ ξηρότητος καὶ δίψης. MGr has δίψα.
