κονιάω, ";whitewash,"; is found in a series of temple accounts, Michel 594.96 (Delos—B.C. 279) τὴν θυμέλην τοῦ βωμοῦ τοῦ ἐν τῆι νήσωι κονιάσαντι Φιλοκράτε. The pass., as in Matthew 23:27, occurs in CIG I. 1625.16. For κονία, ";plaster,"; and κονιατής, ";plasterer,"; see P Oxy XII. 1450 .4, .6 (A.D. 249–50), and for κονίασις, ";plastering,"; P Flor III. 384.78 (v/A.D.) τὴν τῶν δωμάτων κονίασιν, and for κονίαμα. PSI V. 547.19 (iii/B.C.) τὴν κρύπτην ὁμοίαν τῶι κονιάματι. In the private account P Oxy IV. 739.7 (c. A.D. 1) κονίου εἰς πρ [ο ]σφαγίου (ὀβολός), the meaning may be ";powder (?) for a relish 1 ob."; (Edd.).
