Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
θυρίς. In P Petr III. 4818 we hear of θυρίδας κοιλοστάθμους, where for the last word the editors refer to LXX Hagg 14, and for the corresponding verb to 3 Kings 6%, and understand the meaning to be to put a sheath of wood over the door-posts or the sides of the windows. (B.c. 13) describes a house θύραις καὶ θυρίσι kal κλεισί : see 74.15 for the verbs—tiv οἰκίαν τεθυρωμένην Kal τεθυριδωμένην καὶ κεκλεισμένην. [Θυριδόω is not in LS, but | κατάγειν θυσίας εἵνεκεν ταύρους. BGU IV. 111675 | cf. θυριδωτός.] Cf. also P Ryl II. 233° (ii/a-p.) τὰ μέλαθρα | τῶν θυρίδων τοῦ μεγάλου συμποσίου, ‘‘the beams of the windows in the great dining-hall” (Edd.), and P Oxy I. 697 (a.b. 190) where stolen barley is removed from a house διὰ τῆς αὐτῆς θυρίδος, “by the said door,” according to the editors, but any opening may be intended. In P Lond 35° (8.6. 161) (=I. p. 25) τὴν παρὰ [rot βα]σίλεως διὰ τῆς θυρίδος ἐϊσφρα]γισμένην, the reference, as Kenyon notes, is to ‘‘the opening of a folded papyrus sheet, which would be sealed up to hold it all together and to hide the contents.” An interesting inscr. in C. and B. ii. p. 650 tells of the honour paid by the Synagogue to certain Jews who ἐποίησαν τὴν τῶν θυρίδων ἀσφάλειαν Kal τὸν λυπὸν πάντα κόσμον. MGr παραθύρι, ‘* window.
