Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
θρίξ. With Mk 15 we may compare the reference to τρίχες εἰς τοὺς σάκκους in P Petr 11. 33(2)(1)® (as completed 7d. IIT. p- 333). The word is naturally common in the personal descriptions of parties to a will or deed, e.g. P Petr ING 95 (B.C. 236) οὐλὴ μετώπωι ὑπὸ τρίχα : cf. 2. 1215 and 1418 (both B.c. 234), P Lond 882" (B.c. 101) (= III. p. 13), 26. 1425 (A.D. 95) (ΞΞ 11. p. 203). In P Fay 587 (A.D. 155-6) we have the receipt for a tax κοπί(ῆς) kal τριχ(ὸς) καὶ χιροναξίου, ‘fon cutting and hair and trade.” The same tax is referred to in P Grenf 11. 604 (A.p. 193-4) and BGU II. 6172 (A.D. 215), and asin both these cases the payers of the tax were weavers, Wilcken thinks that the words κοπή and θρίξ had to do with the terminology of their trade (see the editors’ introd. to P Fay 58). Miche? 11708 (i/A. p.)’ ErradpsSiro[s] ᾿Εἰπαφροδίτου ὑπὲρ τοῦ παιδίου ᾿Επαφροδίτου τὴν παιδικὴν τρίχα Ὑγίᾳ καὶ ᾿Ασκληπιῷ : cf. the similar dedication of a girl’s ringlets to Isis, Anth. Pad. vi. 60.
