Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

θνητός. Syll 365'° (c. A.D. 37) θεῶν δὲ χάριτες τούτῳ διαφέρουσιν ἀνθρωπίνων διαδοχῶν, ᾧ ἢ νυκτὸς ἥλιος καὶ τὸ ἄφθαρτον θνητῆς φύσεως. Tletéa ὄντα ἐν ἀγρῷ μετὰ τῶν θρεμμάτων νυκτὸς ἀποσπάσαι, “to seize Peteus by night while he was in the fields with the cattle” (Edd.), and from the inscrr. Sy// 2935 (B.c. 178-7) ποτάγειν τὰ ἰδιωτικὰ θρέμματα, OG/S 200" (iv/A.D.) αὐτοὺς ἤγαγον πρὸς ἡμᾶς μετὰ Kal τῶν θρεμμάτων αὐτῶν. With θρέμμα in its literal sense of ‘‘nursling” we may compare the use of θρεπτάριον in a Paris papyrus, p. 42278 τὰ ἀβάσκαντά cov θρεπτάρια, “‘tes charmants petits nourrissons,” and θρεπτός = “‘foster-child”” in P Oxy IT. 2985. 48 (i/A.D.), or ‘*foundling”’ as in C. and B. i. p. 147 No. 37 (cf. p. 350), where it is noted that θρέμμα has the same meaning.
