κιβωτός [page 343] In P Tebt II. 279 .1 (B.C. 231) we find the phrase πέπτωκεν εἰς κιβωτόν , which is confined to iii/B.C. papyri, with reference to the depositing of documents, here a nursing con tract, in the official chest : see the editors introd. and cf. Archiv v. p. 230 f. Other instances of the word are P Fay 121 .8 ( c. A.D. 100) ἐν τῆι (for gender, Mayser Gr. p. 261) κειβωτῶι τῶν ἀσκῶν ἧι ἔχεις παρὰ σοί , P Oxy X. 1269 .21 (early ii/A.D.) κιβωτὸς κειμένου παρακλειδίου , a coffer supplied with a false key (Edd.), and BGU III. 717 .13 (A.D. 149) together with κόφινος . The word is apparently of Semitic origin (cf. Lewy Fremdwφrter , p. 99 f.). It may be noted that Jos. c. Apion. i. 130 improves it into λάρναξ . For κιβωτός and κιβώτιον = book-chest, see Birt Buchrolle, p. 248. MGr ἓν κιβώτιον , a box.
