Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
πρόϊμος / πρώϊμος [pages 540, 556]
πρόϊμος , as read by WH for the TR πρώϊμος , in Jas_5:7 LXX, is apparently derived from πρό and denotes early (in the year) as opposed to ὄψιμος : cf. for the LXX usage Thackeray Gr. i. p. 90. Πρώϊμος , (cf. Mayser Gr. p. 136), however, is found in the Kanopic Decree OGIS 56 .68 (B.C. 238) ὅταν ὁ πρώϊμος σπόρος παραστῆι , a passage which may also be cited along with Xen. Oecon , xvii. 4 in support of the application of Jas l.c. to early crop rather than to early rain. The comp. πρωιμώτερον = more punctually occurs in P Tebt I. 27 .25, .76 (A.D. 113).
