Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐνδόμησις / ἐνδώμησις [page 212] The spelling ἐνδώμησις which WH adopt in Rev_21:18 is confirmed by Syll 583 .31 (i/A.D. ?) τὴν ἐνδώμησιν τοῦ τεμένους , where the editor pronounces this orthography nova. The form ἐνδόμησις occurs in Jos. Antt. xv. 335 = a mole or breakwater. Neither of the above reff. supports Souter s suggestion ( Lex. s.v. ) that the word is probably = roofing (from δῶμα , roof ) rather than building.
