This late word means ";burning heat"; in Matthew 20:12, Luke 12:55, and probably James 1:11 : cf. Genesis 31:40 and Athenaeus iii. p. 73 μελιλώτινοι στέφανοι πάνυ εὐώδεις καὶ καύσωνος ὥρᾳ ψυκτικώτατοι. In the LXX it is more frequent of a ";scorching wind,"; or ";sirocco,"; and Hort prefers this meaning in Jas I.c. In Dioscor. i. 21. 149 it is used as a medical term, ";heat in the stomach,"; and Survives in MGr = ";heat"; (see Kennedy Sources, p. 154).
