Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
πλοιάριον, lit. ‘fa little boat’? (Mk 39: Vg mavicu/a), but hardly to be distinguished from the ordinary πλοῖον (Jn 674) : cf. Ostr 1o51* (A.D. 101) πλοιαρίου, and the late P Gen I. 14° (Byz.) τὰ ναῦλα τοῦ μικροῦ πλοιαρίου. For the double dim. πλοιαρίδιον (not in 1,55), cf. P Cairo Preis 485 (ii/A.D.) where it is apparently interchangeable with πλοῖον “καὶ τὸ μὲν πλοῖόν σοι, ὡς ἠθέλησας, σκέψομαι. καλῶς δ᾽ ἔχει σε ἐνθάδε ἐλθόντα μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ μένειν μέχρι τὸ πλοιαρίδιον εὑρῶμεν. Πλοιάριον refers to ἃ lamp of some kind in P Grenf 11. 11128 (v/vi A.D.) πλοιάρ(ια) χαλK(a) 8.
