ὕσσωπος / ὑσσός [page 661]
ὁ and ἡ (cf. Thackeray Gr. i. p. 146).
In P Cairo Goodsp 30 xlii .8 (A.D. 191 2) ἱσσύπου ( l. ὑσσώπου ) (τετρώβολον ) the editor translates caper plant : cf. Heb_9:19 . In Joh_19:29 ὑσσώπῳ is probably a graphic error for ὑσσῷ , a pike, a javelin : see Field Notes , p. 106 ff.
