Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

χιτών, ‘fa tunic,” “δῇ undergarment,” as distinguished from ἱμάτιον (g.v.): cf. Preisigke 67179 (B.c. 258 or 257) χιτῶνα καὶ ἱμάτιον, PSI I. 641° (i/B.c. 2) ἱμάτιον ταλάντων πέντε χιτῶνα [δὲ or τεῦ δραχμῶν] τετρακισχιλίων ἑξακοσίων, and Musonius p. 1077. The form χιτών, which occurs throughout in the NT, may be seen further in Preisigke 67834 (B.c. 257) χιτὼν βύϊσσινος, and P Oxy I. 1145 (ii/iii A.D.) χιτὼν καὶ μαφόρτιν λευκόν, ‘Sa tunic and a white veil.” For other forms, which are frequent in the Kow#, we may note the Ionic κιτών, as in Mk 1458 B* (cf. Proleg. Ὁ. 38), in BGU I. 2216 (A.D. 114) (= Selections, p. 75) περιέσχισέ μοι τὸν κιτῶνα καὶ τὸ πάλλιον, “she stripped off my tunic and mantle,” P Oxy I. 1138 (ii/A.pD.) © κιτὼν ὑφανθῆναι μέλλει, ‘‘the tunic is to be woven immediately,” 26. X. 1269°%° (early ii/A.D.), cited s.v. ὑποτίθημι, and P Fay 10817, 22 (c, Α.Ὁ. 171): κίθων in P Oxy II. 298" (i/a.p.) is κιθώ(να), P Giss I. 77° (ii/A.D.) ἔπεμίψ]ας μοι τὸν κιθῶναν, and Ρ Ryl 11. 440% (iii/A.D.) πέμψον μοι τὸν τριβακὸν κιθῶνα : the dim. κιτώνιον in P Tebt If. 421° (lii/A.D.) τὸ κιτώνιον αὐτῆς TO λευκὸν παρὰ σοὶ ἔνιγκον (λ ἔνεγκον), ‘‘ bring the white tunic of hers that you have ”’: and the dim, κιθώνιον in P Oxy X. 1310 (ili/A.D.) κιθώνιον ἀργέντιον Kal paddptiov, and 7, XII. 148978 (late ili/A.D.). The word was formerly regarded as of Semitic origin, but is now traced to Asia Minor: see Wilcken UPZ i. p. 390, ni.
