Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κολλούριον is common in medical receipts, e.g. P Oxy VIII. 1088} (early i/A.D.) τὸ μήλινον κολλ(ύριον) πρὸς ῥεῦμα καὶ ἑλκώματα καὶ πληγὰς καὶ αἱμάλωπας, “the yellow salve for discharges, wounds, bruises, and weals” (Ed.), 76.4% καὶ Χωρὶς ἕκαστον ἀναπλάσας μεθ᾽ ὕδατος κολλύρια πόει ἡλίκον Αἰγύπί( τιον) κύαμον, ‘work them up separately with water | Ύ μον. Ρ sep: y and make pastilles of the size of an Egyptian bean” (Ed.), P Flor II. 177°° (A.D. 257) χρήζουσι yap αὐτοῦ οἱ ἰατροὶ kal εἰς κολλούρια Kal εἰς ἑτέρας ἰατρικὰς χρείας (sc. λαγωδίων). The word is used with reference to eye-salve (cf. Rev 318) in Sy/2 80716 (after A.D. 138) where a receipt for anointing the eyes of a blind soldier is made up μετὰ μέλιτος καὶ κολλυρίου. In Rev Zc. there may be an allusion to the “Phrygian powder” used by oculists of the famous medical school at Laodicea: see C. and B.i. p. 52 (cited by Moffatt L£GTadi.). Cf. also Epict. ii. 21. 20 τὰ yap κολλύρια οὐκ ἄχρηστα tots ὅτε δεῖ kal ds Set ἐγχριομένοις, 74. iii. 21. 21. In P Ryl I. 29 (α)" 6 (ii/a.D.) either κ[ολ]λούριον or K[o]Aλύριον could be read.
