Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μυριάς. For μυριάς = 10,000, as in Ac 199, it is sufficient to cite P Tebt II. 3088 (a.p. 174) (= Chrest. I. p. 376) τιμὴν βίβλου μυριάδων δύο, ‘the price of 20,000 papyrus stalks ’’ (Edd.), Ρ Amh II. 10729 (a.p. 185) κριθῆς ἀρταβῶν μυριάδων δύο, ‘620,000 artabae of barley,’ and P Oxy VIII. 111544 (A.D. 284) μυριάδας tpis καὶ ὀκτακισχιλ[ίους, “*38,000.” The sense of unlimited numbers, like our ‘‘myriads,” as in Rev 5% a/., is seen in the Christian amulet P Iand 61° (v/vi A.D.) ᾧ (sc. θεῷ) παραραστκουσιν (2. παραστήκουσιν) μύριαι μαιριάτες (1. μυριάδες) ἀγγέλωϊν : for other exx. see the editor’s note σώ 7, and cf. Moulton Egyptian Rubbish-heaps, p. 31 f.
