Σιλωάμ, (Hebr. 15, Is. viii. 6, which in Jn. ix. 7 is translated ἀπεσταλμένος, but more correctly [see below] ‘a sending out,’ ‘gushing forth’ (of water) ; it is formed after the analogy of 3{*8 ‘had in hatred’, ‘ persecuted’, fr. 28; 3? ‘born’, fr. 19: ‘to bring forth’ ; [the purely passive explanation, ἀπεσταλμένος, Jn. ix. 7, is not so incorrect.” Ewald, Ausfiihrl.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Σιλωάμ Ο. and B. ii. p. 722. (c. A.D. 192), twice (8, 17) calls himself *Aovipxios. Ramsay remarks (of. εἶ. p. 737) that *‘ towards the end of the second century, the use of B to represent Latin v began; and in the third century it became almost universal”: cf. also his Astax Elements, p. 241. It must be noted, however, that there are much earlier exx. : see Viereck Sermo Graecus, p. 57, where instances are given from i/B.c. Note also P Ryl II. 1272 (A.p. 29) and 138 (A.D. 34), with AvBla = Zzvza. There are some instances of 0, as Kotvros, ᾿Οαλέριος. Loa. On this place-name see H. W. Sheppard in 7715 xvi. (1915), p- 414 ff., where the suggestion is made that the final “*m” in Siloam denotes a dual, applicable to the ‘‘ two pools” ; but see 26. p. 555.
