Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
σεμίδαλις, frequent in the LXX but in the NT confined to Rev 1813 = “fine wheaten flour” (cf. Pliny HV xiii. 21 “ similago ex tritico fit laudatissimo ἢ: cf. P Oxy IV. 7368? (c. A.D. 1) σεμιδάρεως (1. σεμιδάλεως) ξηρᾶς (ἡμιωβέλιον), BGU IV. τοῦ715 (A.D. 102) σεμιδάλεω(ς) ἀρτάβας τρεῖ[ς, and P Lond 190% (list of provisions—iii/A.D. ?) (= II. p. 255) σ[εμίδαλιν. For σεμιδαλίτης ἄρτος, “fine wheaten bread,” see P Petr III. 61 (g)® (iii/B.c.). Apparently σεμίδαλις, with Lat. simila of the same meaning, is borrowed from some Mediterranean tongue (Boisacq p. 859).
