κολλυβιστής. This late word (Mt 2115, Mk 1115, Jn 215), which is condemned by the Atticists (cf. Rutherford WP p. 499) occurs in. the census-paper P Petr III. 59 (α)ἷ 7 (Ptol.), where mention is made of κολλ]υβισταὶ §. Its meaning ‘‘ moneychanger” is determined by κόλλυβος, which from denoting “a small coin” had come to be applied to the ‘‘rate or premium of exchange”: cf. the long papyrus roll of accounts P Goodsp Cairo 300-15 (A.p, 191-2), the payment of a tax— κο[λ]ούβου, ‘‘on exchange,’’ P Fay 41: 15.1.14. (ap, 186), 567 (A.D. 106), and P Lond 372? (ii/a.p.) as published in P Tebt 11. p. 339 (with the editors’ note): see also Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 381. The subst. κολλυβιστήριον is found in the fragmentary P Tebt II. 485 (ii/s.c.) and the adj. κολλυβιστικός in BGU IV. 1118* (B.c. 22) διὰ τῆς Κάστορος κολλυβιστικῆς τραπέζης, αὐ (sce further Preisigke Girowesen, p. 32). The word is of Semitic origin (Lewy fremdworter, p. 119f.).
