δυσεντέριον (~ δυσεντερία ) [page 173] Moeris, p. 129, δυσεντερία , θηλυκῶς , Ἀττικῶς . δυσεντέριον , Ἑλληνικῶς , settles the form in Act_28:8 , where all the uncials have the neuter. If Hobart s long list of citations (p. 52 f.) can be trusted for this detail, Luke s medical books all presented him with δυσεντερία (-ίη Hippocrates), and his faithfulness to the spoken Hellenistic form is the more noteworthy. We have not noticed the word in the medical documents among the papyri : it would be a fortunate chance if any of these scattered papers dealt with this particular subject.
