Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

εὐδία. This originally poetical word (Thumb Déza/. p. 373), which is rejected in the best texts of Mt 16%, occurs on the Rosetta stone OG/S go! (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 publicarum statu”: cf Herodas 1. 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. 12237 (late iv/A.p.) ἡ (4 et) καὶ εὐδία ἐστὶ Kal Td πλοῖον avevéyKe οὐ δύναται ἐν TH σήμερον, “if it is calm weather and he cannot bring back the boat to-day’ (Ed.).
