oven a dome-like structure made of clay, in which wood and dried grass were burned, and then after being heated, was used for baking bread The function of κλίβανος may be described as ‘a place heated for baking bread,’ and it may be useful in some instances to employ a more extensive description of a κλίβανος in a glossary, but this is rarely necessary since function is far more important than form.

It was broader at the bottom than above at the orifice, and when sufficiently heated bya fire kindled within, the dough was baked by being spread upon the outside [but ace. to others, the dough was placed inside and the fire or coals outside, the vessel being often perforated with small holes that the heat might the better penetrate; ef. Rich, Dict. of Grk. and Rom. Antiq. 5. v. clibanus; see Schol. on Arstph. Acharn. 86 (iv. 2 p. 339, 20 sq. Dind.)]. 2. i. q. imvos, a furnace, an oven: so Mt. vi. 30; Lk. xii. 28.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κλίβανος. This Ionic form, which is found in Mt 630, Lk 1258 (and always in the LXX) for the Attic κρίβανος, is supported by P Petr III. 140 (a)* (Ptol.) ξύλα κλιβάνωι, of a furnace fed with logs of wood, the word κλιβάνωι being inserted above the line, P Grenf I. 21™ (B.c. 126) εἰς κλιβάνου τόπον, and BGU IV. i117'® (B.c. 13) κτήσεως σὺν τοῖς ἐν αὐτῷ κλιβάν[οις δυσί]ν τε καὶ κλιβανικοῖς σκεύεσσιν. This last document also shows ® 33 κλιβάνιον, and an adj. κλιβανικός. See also Cronert Alem. Herc. p. 77n*. The word is probably of Semitic origin (Lewy /vemdworter, p. 105 f.).
