σάββατον to denote the Heb. Saééazh is first found in the LXX. In the Pentateuch and elsewhere the plur. τὰ σάββατα is used both for ‘‘the Sabbath” and ‘the sabbaths”: see Thackeray Gv. i. p. 35. In the LXX the dat. plur. is usually σαββάτοις, but in the critical text of the NT the form σάββασι occurs frequently: cf. πρόβασι for προβάτοις in P Lond 11718 (Β.6. 8) (= III. p. 178), and similar Part VII. exx. in Psaltes Gr. p. 176. For the significance of the added clause μηδὲ σαββάτῳ in Mt 2450 see Boll Ofenbarung p- 134, n.4 σαγήνη; a large “" drag-net ’’ (Mt 1317) as distinguished from the smaller circular ἀμφίβληστρον (cf. Mk 11°), often identified with the gaz/, which is generally worked by two boats (cf. Lk 57), which separate and then draw it in a sweep to the shore. It was consequently an expensive piece of machinery, and has been taken as evidence that some at least of the fishermen Apostles were fairly well-to-do (cf. Exp T xxviii. p. 229f.).
