For the commoner form κεκραμένος as distinguished from the κεκερασμένος of Revelation 14:10, we may cite Syll 616.30 (iii / B.C.) κύλικα οἴνου κεκραμένου, and P Oxy VIII. 1088.55, a medical receipt of early i/A.D., to which the instruction is appended—μετὰ γλυκέως καὶ μέλιτος καὶ στροβίλων κ [ρ ]αμένων (l. κεκραμένων) δὸς πεῖν, ";give to drink with raisin wine and honey and pine-cones mixed"; (Ed.). An interest–ing ex. of the subst. is found in the famous inscr. of Aber–cius, in which a παρθένος ἁγνή (the Virgin Mary or the Church) is described as—.16 οἶνον χρηστὸν ἔχουσα, κέρασμα διδοῦσα μετ᾽ ἄρτου, ";having good wine and giving the mixed cup with bread"; : see Lightfoot Apost. Fathers Part II. i. p. 496 f., Ramsay C. and B. ii. p. 722 ff. MGr κερνῶ, ";pour in,"; ";treat,"; ";regale.";
