Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὀθόνιον. Wilcken Ostr i. p. 266 ff. has shown that by ὀθόνιον in Egypt we must understand fine linen stuff, both in its manufactured and in its unmanufactured state. Its manufacture was a government monopoly: cf. P Tebt I. 5° (B.c. 118) ἀφειᾶστι] δὲ kal τοὺς ἐπιστάτας τῶν ἱερῶν καὶ τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ ἱερ[εῖς τῶν] ὀφε[ι]λομένων πρός τε τὰ ἐπιστατικὰ
