πλατύς, πλατεῖα, πλατύ (cf. Latinplanus, latus; Curtius, § 367 b; Vanicek, p. 552), from Homer down, the Sept. several times for ψΘηΗα, broad: Mat_7:13.

πλατύς platys 1x broad, wide, Mat_7:13

πλατύς , -εῖα , -ύ , [in LXX for H7342 ;] broad: Mat_7:13 . As subst ., ἡ Papyri ( sc . ὁδός ), [in LXX chiefly for H7342 ;] a street: Mat_6:5 ; Mat_12:19 ( LXX ), Mar_6:56 , WH , mg ., Luk_10:10 ; Luk_13:26 ; Luk_14:21 , Act_5:15 , Rev_11:8 ; Rev_21:21 ; Rev_22:2 .†

πλατύς [page 516] broad. In P Par 10 .19 (B.C. 145) a reward is offered for a fugitive slave who is described as μεγέθει βραχύς , πλατὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ὤμων . Cf. P Fay 115 .17 (A.D. 101) a strap στερῆν ( l. στερεὸν ) καὶ πλατύ , strong and broad, P Flor III. 333 .11 (ii/A.D.) μέχρι πλατείας πύλης , and P Ryl II. 169 .16 (A.D. 196 7) πλατέων ἄρτων , flat loaves. In P Lond 880 .23 (B.C. 113) (= III. p. 9) we should read, according to P Strass II. 85 .22 note, πλατεῖα ὁδὸς τῶν θεῶν : cf. Mat_7:13 . This prepares us for the use of πλατεῖα as a subst. with or without any special name of the street or public square attached, e.g. P Oxy I. 51 .15 (A.D. 173) ἐ ]π᾽ ἀμφόδου Πλατείας , in the Broad Street quarter, ib. VI. 937 .11 (iii/A.D.) παραγγέλλω σοι . . . ἵνα παραβάλῃς πρὸς τῇ πλατείᾳ του θεάτρου , I bid you go to the street of the theatre, and P Amh II. 98 .3 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐπ̣[ὶ ] τ̣η̣̣ν Σαραπιακ (ὴν ) πλατ (εῖαν ). Herwerden ( Lex. s.v. ) cites a Christian sepulchral inscr. IGSI 325 .1 ἅπασα γεα καὶ πλατοὶς ( l. πλατὺς ) ἀὴρ γεν (ν )ᾷ σοι , θάνατε , but the reference appears to be wrong. See also Herodas VI. 53 τὴν πλατεῖαν ἐκβάντι , as one leaves the Broad (with Headlam s note). MGr πλατεῖα , piazza, square.
