αἰσχρολογία [page 14]
BGU III. 909 .12 (A.D. 359) πολλὰς ἐ [σ ]χρολογίας εἰς πρόσωπόν μου ἐξειπών . A literary citation is P Oxy III. 410 .76 (Doric, iv/B.C.) τὸ δὲ φεύγεν τὰς αἰσχρολογίας μεγ [αλ ]οπρεπὲς καὶ κόσμος λόγω , the avoidance of abuse is a mark of high-mindedness and an ornament of speech (Edd). The adj. is generally associated with foul or filthy rather than abusive speaking in Col_3:8 : cf. Didache 3:3, where after a warning against ἐπιθυμία the Christian is counselled to be μηδὲ αἰσχρολόγος μηδὲ ὑψηλόφθαλμος ( one who casts lewd eyes : cf. 2Pe_2:14 ) ἐκ γὰρ τούτων ἁπάντων μοιχεῖαι γεννῶνται .
