Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὄγκος. For this NT Gm. εἰρ. (Heb 121) cf. P Lond 130197 (horoscope—i/ii A.D.) (=I. p. 136) ἐπίτριτος ὄγκωι, and see Kaibel 8108 cited s.v. κλισία. The meaning “ bulk”’ is seen in Menander Fragm. p. 113, No. 394— οὐπώποτ᾽ ἐζήλωσα πολυτελῆ νεκρόν" εἰς τὸν ἴσον ὄγκον τῷ σφόδρ᾽ ἔρχετ᾽ εὐτελεῖ. «1 never envied an expensive corpse: it comes to the same bulk (¢.c. a handful of ashes) as a very cheap one.” For the verb ὀγκόω cf. Kaibel 314°35— GAN’ ἑτέραν πάλι pot νόσον ἤγαγε γαστρὸς μοῖρα, σπλάγχνα μου ὀγκώσασα καὶ ἐκτήξασα τὰ λοιπά. Cf. 25. 2342 (iii/a.D.) ὀγκωτὰ . . κόνις.
