Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Σμύρνα / Ζμύρνα [page 581, 274]
The wavering of the inscriptional testimony (see Deissmann BS , p. 185) makes it impossible to decide between Ζμύρνα which is read by ΰ vg am fu (harl) al. in Rev_1:11 and the commoner Σμύρνα , but the fact that the reading Ζμύρνα is supported by Smyrnaean coins down to Trajan s reign (Waddington, Voy. arch. 894) makes it difficult to reject the witness of ΰ , on suspicion of Western taint : see WH Notes .2 , p. 155, Proleg. p. 45. For Ζμύρνα ( η ) in the papyri see P Ryl II. 153 .18 (A.D. 138 161) ὂ̣ν̣ κατέλιψα ἐν Ζμύρνῃ τῆς Ἀσίας , and for the same spelling of the common noun cf. PSI IV. 328 .2 (B.C. 258 7) ζμύρνης τάλαντα ἑκατόν , P Tebt I. 35 .16 (B.C. III) ζμύρναν , and see Mayser Gr. pp. 41, 204. An adj. ζμύρνινος is found in P Oxy XII. 1584 .18 (ii/A.D.) παλλίον ζμύρνιν [ον .
