For this word, as in Mar_13:34 , Joh_10:3 , see P Par 35 .32 (B.C. 163) παρέθεντο δὲ τὰ ποτή [ρια ] Κεφα [λᾶτ ]ι τῷ θυρωρῷ (cf. ib. 37 .46 ), P Tebt I. 112 intr. (4) (B.C. 112) Θεῶνι θυρω (ρῶι ), BGU IV. 1141 .34 (B.C.14) καθ᾽ ἡμέραν δὲ τὸν θυλωρὸν ( l. θυρ ) ἐξερωτῶι μή τις ἔξω υ̣[πνωκε , P Lond 604 .14 (A.D. 47) (= III. p. 71) Πτολεμαίο (υ ) θυρουρο (ῦ ), P Flor I. 71 .880 (iv/A.D.) Μ̣ο̣υσῆς θυρουρὸς ῑ πάγ (ου ). For the form θυρουρός in the last two exx., as in Mar_13:34 D*, see Mayser Gr. p. 15, and Moulton Gr. ii. p. 75. The interesting reference to a woman door-keeper in Joh_18:16-17 (cf. 2Ki_4:6 ) may be illustrated by BGU IV. 1061 .10 (B.C. 14) τὴν ἀποτεταγμένην πρὸς τῆι τηρήσει θυρωρὸν Μ̣α̣λήφιος γυναῖκα παραχρῆμα ἐφόνευσαν , P Ryl II. 36 .6 (A.D. 34) λογοποιουμένου μου πρὸς Ἀγχερίμφ [ι ]ν̣ κα [ὶ ] τὴν̣ τούτου γυναῖκα Θεναπύγχιν θυλουρὸν ( l. θυρ ) τῶν ἀπὸ Εὐημερίας τῆς Θεμίστου μερίδος , as I was talking to Ancherimphis and his wife Thenapunchis, a door-keeper of Euhemeria in the division of Themistes (Edd.), and P Strass I. 24 .17 (A.D. 118) Θατρῆτι θυλουρῶι ( l. θυρ ). See further for the interpretation of Jn l.c. ExpT xxvii. pp. 217 f., 314 ff., and 424 f.
