μῶμος [page 420] In 2Pe_2:13 this word is used in the Biblical sense of blemish (cf. Lev_21:21 ). For the meaning blame reproach, as in classical Greek (cf. also Sir_11:31 ; Sir_18:15 ) see Kaibel 948 .7 f. (Rom.) οὕνεκ᾽ ἐ [γὼ πι ]νυτ [ᾶ ]τα καὶ ἀγλαὸν ἤθεσι κόσμον δῶ [κ ]α καὶ ἐ [γ ]μώμου πάντοθεν εἰρυσάμην , where ἐ [γ ]μώμου = ἐκ μώμου (see Index). See s.v. ἄμωμος . Boisacq (pp. 57, 637 n. .1 , 655) connects μῶμος with the Homeric ἀμύμων and with μιαίνω .
