Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

χειροποίητος, “made by hands,’’ in the LXX applied only to idols, but in the NT used of material temples (Ac 748, 1724): cf. Orac. Sib. xiv. 62 ναῶν ἱδρύματα χειροποιήτων. In the travel-letter, P Lond 8544 (i/ii a.p.) (=III. p. 205, Selections, p. 70), the writer remarks that many go by ship ἵνα τὰς χε[ι]ροπίοι]ήΐτους τέϊχνας ἱστορήσωσι, “in order that they may visit works of art made by hands,” on the banks of the Nile.
