Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἔνδικος. The only occurrences we can quote of this adj. (Rom 38, Heb 2?) are from the laws of Gortyna (v/B.c.) edited in Michel 1333, e.g. ™ 38. αἱ δέ τι τὸν τέκνον πέροι, ἔνδικον ἔμεν. ἐνδό(- ὠώ-)μησις. The spelling ἐνδώμησις which WH adopt in Rey 2118 is confirmed by Sy// 583%! (i/A.b. ?) τὴν ἐνδώμησιν τοῦ τεμένους, where the editor pronounces this orthography ‘‘nova.” The form ἐνδόμησις occurs in Jos. Ant, xv. 335 =a ‘‘mole”’ or ‘‘breakwater.’’ Neither of the above reff. supports Souter’s suggestion (Zea. s.v.) that the word is probably = “roofing ’’ (from δῶμα, ‘‘ roof’’) rather than ‘* building.”’
