43.16 · Agriculture
reaper, harvester (derivative of θερίζω ‘to harvest,’ 43.14) a person who gathers in a crop In a number of languages there is no specific term for ‘reapers,’ and therefore it may be necessary in MAT 13:30 to say ‘... I will say to those who are working in the fields’ or ‘... who are cutting down the grain.’

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
θεριστής. P Hib I. 445 (B.C. 253-2) ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τοὺς ἐπιγεγραμμένους θεριστὰς κατὰ τὴν δοθεῖσάν σοι γραφήν, ‘and likewise the harvesters who have been levied in accordance with the list given to you,” P Flor I. 80° (i/ii a.p.) ἕξ θερισταί. For the adj. θεριστικός see P Magd 85 (B.c. 218) δρέπανον θεριστικόν. The word survives in MGr. θέρμη. We have no ex. of this subst. = “" heat,”’ as in Ac 288 (see Hobart, p. 287 f. for medical exx.), but it is common in connexion with public ‘‘ baths,” e.g. P Oxy I. 5414 (a.p. 201) els ἐπιμέλειαν ἐπισκευῆς καὶ κατασκευῆς ᾿Αδριανῶν θερμῶν, “to superintend the repairs and fixtures of the baths of Hadrian” (Edd.), 24. III. 473° (A.p. 138-160) tals] τῶν μειζόνων θερμῶν ἐπιμελείας, 2d. VI. 8968 (A.D. 316), τοῦ εὐτυχῶς ἐπισκευαζομένου Tparavav ᾿Αδριανῶν θερμῶν δημοσίου τῆς αὐτῆς πόλεως βαλανίου. With the rare form θέρμη Rutherford (VP, p. 198) compares κάκη and λεύκη, λεύκαι being applied to a form of leprosy (like the English term ‘the blues”): so in MGr ἵέστη = “heat,” Wixpa = “cold weather.” .
