Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κρίθινος declension κρέας κρέατος must have prevailed in the Kow4 in view of the MGr κρέατο, κριάτο. For the diminutive κρεάδιον see the soldier’s begging letter, BGU IIT. 8145 (iii/a.p.), in which the writer complains that his mother had sent him nothing, while a friend’s mother had sent her son κεραμεῖον ἐλαίου κ[αὶ] σφυρίδαν κρεδίων (/. κρεαδίων). κρείσσων, κρείττων, is always strictly comparative in the NT, cf. P Oxy XIV. 1676'® (iii/A.D.) ἀλλὰ πάντως κρείττονα εἶχες" διὰ τοῦτο ὑπερηφάνηκας ἡμᾶς, “but you doubtless had better things to do; that was why you neglected us” (Ed.). It is found with a superlative force in such a passage as P Oxy VII. 1062° (ii/A.D.) προσθεὶς ὅτι τὰ θέρειά ἐστιν τὰ κρείσσονα, “‘adding that the summer ones were the best ”’ (Ed.)—a letter referring to the purchase of some fleeces. On the relative proportion of the two forms in the LXX, see Thackeray Gr. i. p. 122.
