δόμα, -ros, τό, (δίδωμι), a gift: Mt. vii. 11; Lk. xi. 13; Eph. iv. 8; Phil. iv. 17. (Plat. def. p. 415b.; Plut.; often in Sept., chiefly for 3m.) Cf. Fritzsche on Mt. Ρ- 291 sq. [who quotes Varro de ling. Lat. 1. iv. p. 48 ed. Bip. “dos erit pecunia si nuptiarum causa data: haec Graece δωτίνη, ita enim hoe Siculi: ab eodem Donum. Nam Graece ut ipsi δῶρον, ut alii δόμα, etut Attici δόσις.᾽7" [Syw. δόμα, δόσις, δῶρον, δωρεά: δόσ. act. a giving, pass. thing given, cf. medical “dose”; δῶρ. specific “ present,” yet not always gratuitous or wholly unsuggestive of recompense ; but δωρεά differs from δῶρ. in denoting a gift which is also a gratuity, hence of the benefactions of a sovereign; a δόσις θεοῦ is what God confers as possessor of all things; a δωρεὰ θεοῦ is an expression of his favor; a δῶρον θεοῦ is something which becomes the recipient’s abiding possession. Philo de cherub. ὃ 25, says πάνυ ἐκδήλως παριστάς (Num. xxviii. 2), ὅτι τῶν ὄντων τὰ μὲν χάριτος μέσης ἠξίωται, ἢ καλεῖται δόσις, τὰ δὲ ἀμείνονος, ἣς ὄνομα οἰκεῖον δωρεά. Again, de leg. alleg. iii. § 70 (on the same bibl. pass.), διατηρήσεις ὅτι δῶρα δομάτων διαφέρουσι: τὰ μὲν yap ἔμφασιν μεγέθους τελείων ἀγαθῶν δηλοῦσιν... τὰ δὲ εἰς βραχύτατον ἔσταλται κτλ. Hence δόμα, δόσις, gift; δωρεά, δῶρον, henefaction, bounty, ete.; yet cf. 6. g. Test. xii. Patr. test. Zab. § 1 ἐγώ εἶμι Ζαβουλών, δόσις ἀγαθὴ τοῖς γονεῦσί μου, with Gen. Xxx. 30 δεδώρηται 6 θεός μοι δῶρον καλὸν... κ- ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ζαβουλών. Cf. Schmidt ch. 106.]
