Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

φραγμός [page 675] prop, a fencing in, and hence a fence (as always in the NT, Mat. 21:33 al. ). Exx. are BGU IV. 1119 32 (a lease B.C. 5) τὸν φραγμὸν ῢ̣̣γιᾶ ο̣ἶο̣ν̣ καὶ π̣α̣ρε̣ίλ̣η̣ϕ̣ε̣ν , P Oxy III. 580 (ii/A.D.) εἰς ἐπιτήρησιν φόρου φραγμοῦ Παεβύθεως , and P Giss I. 56 .12 (vi/ A.D.) καλαμουργίαν καὶ τοὺς σφραγμούς ( l. φραγμούς ). For the μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ of Eph. 2:14 we may recall the inscr. on the Temple barrier OGIS 598 cited s.v. ἀλλογενής . The form φράγμα is found in P Bilabel 95 .459 (A.D. 7).
