† βάτος -ου , ὁ ( Heb . H1324 ), [in LXX (also βαίθ , βάτος ): Ezr_7:22 * ;] bath , a Jewish liquid measure, = μετρητής ( q.v. ), or about 8-3/4 gals.: Luk_16:6 .†

βάτος (2) [page 107] This Hebrew loanword ( αΜΗϊ ) is rather strangely transliterated βάδος in Hesychius, who implies that this was commoner than βάτος : perhaps the fact that δ was now generally spirantised (like th in bathe ) made it seem nearer than τ to the Hebrew letter. See Tischendorf on Luk_16:6 : to ΰ LX, which spell with δ , must now be added W.
