κάμηλος, καμήλου, ὁ, ὁ, Hebrew βΘΜξΘμ (from Herodotus down), a camel (BB. DD. under the word; Tristram, Nat. Hist. etc., p. 58ff): Mat_3:4; Mar_1:6; in proverbs, Mat_19:24; Mar_10:25; Luk_18:25, (meaning, 'something almost or altogether impossible' (cf. Farrar in The Expositor for 1876 i., p. 369ff; especially Wetzstein in the Sitzungsberichte d. Akad. d. Wissensch. zu München, 1873, pp. 581-596)); Mat_23:24 (of one who is careful not to sin in trivial matters, but pays no heed to the more important matters). STRONGS NT 2574: κάμιλοςκάμιλος, καμιλου, ὁ, a cable; the reading of certain manuscripts in Mat_19:24 and Luk_18:25 (see Tdf.s notes). The word is found only in Suidas (1967 c.) and the Schol. on Aristophanes reap. (1030): "κάμιλος τό παχύ σχοινίον διά τοῦ ἰ." Cf.

κάμηλος [page 319] In P Tebt I. 252 (B.C. 95 4 or 62 1) 1 talent is paid for ]. ρης καμή (λων ?), but, as will be observed, the editors regard the completion of the word as doubtful, and the doubt is increased when we note that this is the only reference to camels as beasts of burden that we can produce from Ptolemaic times. In Imperial times, on the other hand, they are constantly referred to, as in the custom-house receipt P Ryl II. 197 .2 ff. (late ii/A.D.) τετελ (ώνηται ) διὰ πύλης Σοκνοπ (αίου ) Νήσου ρ ν Σαραπίων ἐξάγ (ων ) ἐπὶ καμήλ (ῳ ) ᾱ μιᾷ λαχανοσπέρμ (ου ) ἀρτάβ (ας ) ἓξ τελ (ούσας ) (δραχμὰς ) πέντε , paid at the custom-house of Socnopaei Nesus for the tax of .1 / 100 and .1 / 50 by Sarapion, exporting on one camel six artabae of vegetable-seed paying five drachmae (Edd.), and in the illiterate P Oxy VII. 1069 .17 (iii/A.D.)τάχα γὰρ δυνασθῶμεν φο [ρ ]υτρείσε ( l. φο [ρ ]ετρίσαι ) σοι δύω καμήλους [πυ ]ρ̣οῦ καὶ πέμψε πρὸ σέν , for we may be able to load two camels with wheat for you and to send them to you (Ed.). BGU I. 352 .11 (A.D. 135 6) mentions as registered καμήλους τελείους τρεῖς , and similarly in P Lond 328 .7 (A.D. 163) (= II. p. 75) the writer announces that of the two camels and a foal (καμήλων δύο καὶ πώλου ) which he possessed in the previous year, one has been requisitioned εἰς κυριακὰς χρείας , for Imperial service : he therefore returns two camels for the current year .15 τοὺς δὲ λοιποὺς καμήλους β̄ ἀπογρ (άφομαι ) εἰς τὸ ἐνεστὸς (ἔτος ). For the diminutive see P Hamb I. 54 .7 (ii/iii A.D.) ἕτερα β̄ καμήλια . In P Oxy III. 498 .8 (ii/A.D.) we read of squared building-stones transportable by camel λίθων κύβων καμηλικῶν , though too heavy for other beasts : this is remarkably like μύλος ὀνικός in Mar_9:42 . Cf. also OGIS 629 .16 (A.D. 137) τεσσάρων γόμων καμηλικῶν τέλος ἐπράχθη : so .35, .88 . On the τέλεσμα καμήλων see Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 378.
