Thayer's Greek Lexicon
θυμιατήριον, -ov, τό, (θυμιάω), prop. a utensil for fumigating or burning incense [ef.

Alex.; Orig.; and so in Heb. ix. 4[(where Tr mre. br.), also 2 Tr mrg. in br.], where see Bleek, Liinemann, Delitzsch, Kurtz, in opp. to those [(A. V. included) ] who think it means censer; [yet cf. Harnack in the Stud. u. Krit. for 1876, p. 572 sq. ].

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
θυμιατήριον. Some quotations may be given from Sy//. Thus in 8041® (? ii/A.pD.) the patient in the Asclepieum sees παιδάριον ἡγεῖσθαι θυμιατήριον ἔχον ἀτμίζο[ν : it is ‘‘censer” here, obviously. The same seems to be the case in 58312 (i/a.D.) —so Dittenberger—and 58878 (ii/B.c.), though there is nothing decisive : naturally in many contexts we cannot say whether the censer was fixed or movable. So also 734!*4. In P Oxy III. 52119 (ii/A.D.) a θυμιατήριον is mentioned in a list of articles, perhaps belonging to some temple, and a θυμιατήριον is also found along with a φιάλη ἀργυρῆ καὶ orov[S]et[oly lying ἐπὶ τρίποδι in a “riclinzwm (BGU II. 3884. 22 —ji/a.D.): cf. BGU II. 3871-8 29, 488% (both ii/A.D.).
