Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀσπασμός. P Oxy III. 47187 (ii/A.D.) μαρτύρονται κύριε τὴν σὴν τύχην [el] μὴν ἀναμενύντων αὐτῶν (corr. from ἡμῶν) Tov ἀσπασμόν[. . . The noun is curiously rare: the above is apparently its only occurrence in P Oxy I.-X., nor have we noticed any other instance of it in the ordinary papyrus collections.
