φαρμακ (ε)ία —
φαρμακ (ε)ία in its general sense ";practice of drugging,"; may be illustrated from P Cairo Zen I. 59018.5 (B.C. 258) (= Preisigke 6710.5), where a man states, that having taken a dose of medicine he is unable to leave the house—ἄρρωστ ]ος ἐτύγχανον ἐκ φαρμακείας ὤν. In P Oxy III. 486.21 (A.D. 131) it has the sinister sense of ";poisoning";—τῇ μητρί μου Ἑρμιόνῃ φαρμακείας ἐνκαλῶν, ";charging my mother Hermione with poisoning"; : cf. Vett. Val. p. 11.1, et saepe. From this it is an easy transition to ";sorcery,"; ";witchcraft,"; as in Gal. 5:20; see Lightfoot’s note ad l., also Burton ICC Gal. p. 306.
φάρμακον —
φάρμακον in its oniy NT occurrence (Rev. 9:21) has the evil meaning ";drug,"; ";enchantment,"; ";sorcery"; : cf. P Tebt I. 43.19 (B.C. 118) ἐπανείρηται αὐτὸν (l. ἐπανῄρηται αὐτὸς) φαρμάκωι, ";he has been poisoned,"; and PSI I. 64.20 (i/B.C.?), where a wife solemnly promises that she will not mix noxious drugs with her husband’s drink or food—μηδὲ ποι [ή ]σειν εἴς σε φάρμακα φίλτρα μηδὲ κακοποιὰ μήτε ἐν ποτοῖς μήτε ἐν βρωτοῖς, with which mau be compared Syll 815 (=.3 1180).2 cited s.v. θανάσιμος the sepulchral Kaibel 595.3 where a physician is praised as πολλούς τε σώσας φαρμάκοις ἀνωδύνοις, and the magic P Lond 122.33 (iv/A.D.) (=I. p. 117) διασῶσόν μου πάνδοτε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπὸ φαρμάκων καὶ δολίων. See also the prayer for vengeance Preisigke 1323 (ii/A.D.), and compare Musonius p. 124.4 φαρμάκοις γὰρ οὐκ ἔοικεν, ἀλλὰ σιτίοις ὑγιεινοῖς ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ. A dim. φαρμάκιον is found in P Petr III. 42 H(8).25 (mid. iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski.2, p, 16).
For φάρμακον in a healing sense, ";physic,"; ";medicine"; we may cite P Lond 356.6 (i/A.D.) (= II. p. 252, Selections p. 59) καλῶς ποιήσεις ἰδίωι κινδύνῳ τὸ καλὸν πωλήσας ἐξ ὧν ἐάν σοι εἴπῃ φαρμάκων ἔχειν χρείαν Σῶτας ὁ φίλος μου, ";be so good as to sell at your own risk good quality of whatever drugs my friend Sotas says that he has need,"; P Flor II. 222.11 (A.D. 256) τὸ φάρμακον. . εἰς τὸν παρ᾽ ἐμοὶ ταῦρον, ";medicine for my bull,"; P Grenf II. 77.17 (funeral expenses—iii/iv A.D.) (= Selections, p. 121) ἔστι δὲ τὰ ἀναλώματα τιμ (ὴ) φαρμάκου παλ (αιαὶ) (δραχμαὶ) ξ ̄ κτλ., ";the expenses are—the price of medicine 60 old drachmae,"; etc. See also Sir. 6:16, Test. xii. pair. Jos. ii. 7 μέγα φάρμακόν ἐστιν ἡ μακροθυμία, and Ign. Eph. xx. φάρμακον ἀθανασίας, of the Eucharist.
