Nägeli (p. 14) draws attention to the act that the word δίψος, which is praised by the Schol. on Il. 19.166 as Attic, in contrast to the Ionic δίψα, is found also in the LXX and Epictetus. In the LXX the two words are used interchangeably, e.g. Wisdom of Solomon 11:4 δίψης, . Wisdom of Solomon 11:8 δίψους : Amos 8:11 δίψαν, . Amos 8:13 δίψει : see Thackeray Gr. i. p. 157. In a medical fragment, P Tebt II. 272.17 (late ii/A.D.), we have, κριθήσεται δὲ [ο ]ὕτως ἔχον ἐὰν τοῦ κατὰ τὸν [π ]υρετὸν μεγέθους μᾶλλον [π ]αραύξηται τὸ δίψος, ";such will be judged to be the case if the increase of thirst is out of proportion to the height of the fever"; (Edd.), cf. .20 (cited above under ἀνεξίκακος) μὴ ῢ ̣̣π ̣ο ̣μ ̣ένοι τὸ δι ̣ψ ̣[ος. In P Flor II. 176.12 (iii/A.D.) δίψα is used in connexion with the ";dryness"; of figs—ἐκ τῆς τῶν σύκων κακίας καὶ ξηρότητος καὶ δίψης. MGr has δίψα.
