Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὀνικός [page 450]
Grimm s, statement that this adj. is not found outside its NT occurrences ( Mat_18:6 , Mar_9:42 ) requires correction in the light of the new evidence, e.g. BGU III. 912 .24 (A.D. 33) τὰ ὀνικὰ κτήνη , P Gen I. 23 .4 (A.D. 70) ἀπὸ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ἡμῖν ὀνικῶν κτηνῶν ὄνον ἔ̣ν̣α̣, and OGIS 629 .30 (A.D. 137) γόμου ὀνικ [οῦ , a load such as requires an ass to carry it. Cf. for similar formations, P Oxy III. 498 .8 (ii/A.D.) τῶν οἰκοδομουμένων λίθων κύβων καμηλικῶν , squared building-stones transportable by camel (?), and BGU III. 814 .6 (iii/A.D.) ἡμι ]ονικὸν ἅρμα , a chariot drawn by mules. Deissmann ( LAE, p. 77) notes that ὀνικός survives in the Middle Greek τὸ (ὀ )νικόν , which is still in dialectal use, for instance in the island of Carpathus.
