Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
λιβανωτός [page 375]
λιβανωτός = frankincense may be illustrated from the ii/iii A.D. medical prescription P Oxy II. 234 ii. 38 λιβ ]ανωτὸν οἴνῳ [διεὶ ]ς ἡδίστῳ κλύζε [τὸ ο ]ὖς , dilute frankincense with very sweet wine and syringe the ear& #148; (Edd.) : cf. ib. I. 118 .20 (late iii/A.D.) λιβανωτόν [τινα σ ]υναγοράσας , buy some incense, and OGIS. 383 .142 (mid. i/B.C.) ἐπιθύσεις ἀφειδεῖς λιβανωτοῦ καὶ ἀρωμάτων . Grimm s note makes Rev_8:3 ; Rev_8:5 confuse λ .= frankincense and λιβανωτίς = censer, but Syll 588 .156 ( c. B.C. 180) λιβανωτίδος κλάσματα has the latter word in the former meaning, so that the confusion existed also in prof. auth., or at least in profane inscriptions.

λιβανωτός λι^βα^νωτός, οῦ, "frankincense, the gum of the tree λίβανος", Hdt. , Ar. , etc. "a censer", Lat. thuribulum, NTest.
