Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
μαμωνᾶς. For the gen. form μαμωνᾶ (Lk τ69), see Robertson Gr. p- 254f. According to Dalman (Gy.? p. 170f., Anm. 1) μαμωνᾶς is derived from {YND, “deposited.” Mavayy. This Jewish name (=DM39, 2 Kings 1514) receives a Greek look from the termination --ν : see Deissmann 2S p- 310, n.4. Preuschen (@ZNT ad Ac 131) thinks that the form Mavaipos, known to Papias (TU v. 2 p. 170) in connexion with a story κατὰ τὴν μητέρα Mavaipou τὴν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστᾶσαν, may be related.
