Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

εὐδία [page 260] This originally poetical word (Thumb Dial. p. 373), which is rejected in the best texts of Mat_16:2 , occurs on the Rosetta stone OGIS 90 .11 (B.C. 196) καὶ δαπάνας πολλὰς ὑπομεμένηκεν ἕνεκα τοῦ τὴν Αἴγυπτον εἰς εὐδίαν ἀγαγεῖν , where Dittenberger notes that it is used metaphorically de beato et tranquillo rerum publicamm statu : cf. Herodas i. 28, where amongst the glories of Egypt are mentioned δύναμις , εὐδ [ίη , δ ]όξα , power, peace, fame. For the literal sense cf. P Oxy IX. 1223 .12 (late iv/A.D.) ἠ ( l. εἰ ) καὶ εὐδία ἐστὶ καὶ τὸ πλοῖον ἀνενέγκε οὐ δύναται ἐν τῇ σήμερον , if it is calm weather and he cannot bring back the boat to-day (Ed.).
