Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

σαργάνη [page 569] σαργάνη in the sense of a flexible mat-basket occurs in the NT only in 2Co_11:33 , but can be freely illustrated from the Κοινή , e.g. BGU II. 417 .14 (ii/iii A.D.) π [ε ]ρὶ ἐνοικίου κοφίνων καὶ τειμῆς σαρλανῶν , P Flor II. 269 .7 (A.D. 257) τὰς οἰνηγὰς καὶ τὰς σιτικὰς σ̣αρ [γ ]ά [ν ]ας , P Oxy VI. 938 .3 (iii/iv A.D.) δώδεκα σαργάνας χόρτου (cf. .6 ). and P Lond 23 .11 ( c . A.D. 346) (= II. p. 291) ἐλαίου σπάθια ( measures ) δύο καὶ τὴν σαργάνην . In P Strass I. 37 .13 (iii/A.D.) τῆς ἡμῶν σαργάν [ης , the editor suggests that the reference may be to a travelling-basket. The dim. σαργάνιον is found in P Lips I. 21 .18 (A.D. 382) ἀχύρου σαργάνιον ἕν , and σαργανίτιον in BGU IV. 1095 .21 (A.D. 57) : cf. also P Goodsp Cairo 30 xxii. 13 (A.D. 191 192) σαργανείλ̣[ω ]ν̣.
