κολλούριον is common in medical receipts, e.g. P Oxy VIII. 1088.1 (early i/A.D.) τὸ μήλινον κολλ (ύριον) πρὸς ῥεῦμα καὶ ἑλκώματα καὶ πληγὰς καὶ αἱμάλωπας, ";the yellow salve for discharges, wounds, bruises, and weals"; (Ed.), ib..42 καὶ χωρὶς ἕκαστον ἀναπλάσας μεθ᾽ ὕδατος κολλύρια πόει ἡλίκον Αἰγύπ (τιον) κύαμον, ";work them up separately with water and make pastilles of the size of an Egyptian bean"; (Ed.), P Flor II. 177.20 (A.D. 257) χρήζουσι γὰρ αὐτοῦ οἱ ἰατροὶ καὶ εἰς κολλούρια καὶ εἰς ἐτέρας ἰατρικὰς χρείας (sc. λαγωδίων). The word is used with reference to eye-salve (cf. Revelation 3:16) in Syll 807.16 (after A.D. 138) where a receipt for anointing the eyes of a blind soldier is made up μετὰ μὲλιτος καὶ κολλυρίου. In Rev l.c. there may be an allusion to the ";Phrygian powder"; used by oculists of the famous medical school at Laodicea : see C. and B. i. p. 52 (cited by Moffatt EGT ad l.). Cf. also Epict. ii. 21. 20 τὰ γὰρ κολλύρια οὐκ ἄχρηστα τοῖς ὅτε δεῖ καὶ ὡς δεῖ ἐγχριομένοις, ib. iii. 21. 21. In P Ryl I. 29 (a).46 (ii/A.D.) either κ [ολ ]λούριον or κ [ο ]λλύριον could be read. On the form of the word see Moulton Gr. ii. p. 78 f., Dieterich Untersuch. p. 23.
