Vocabulary of the Greek NT

λιβανωτός = ";frankincense"; may be illustrated from the ii/iii A.D. medical prescription P Oxy II. 234ii. 38 λιβ ]ανωτὸν οἴνῳ [διεὶ ]ς ἡδίστῳ κλύζε [τὸ ο ]ὖς, ";dilute frankincense with very sweet wine and syringe the ear& #148; (Edd.) : cf. ib. I. 118.20 (late iii/A.D.) λιβανωτόν [τινα σ ]υναγοράσας, ";buy some incense,"; and OGIS. 383.142 (mid. i/B.C.) ἐπιθύσεις ἀφειδεῖς λιβανωτοῦ καὶ ἀρωμάτων. Grimm’s note makes Revelation 8:3; Revelation 8:5 confuse λ.= ";frankincense"; and λιβανωτίς = ";censer,"; but Syll 588.156 (c. B.C. 180) λιβανωτίδος κλάσματα has the latter word in the former meaning, so that the confusion existed also ";in prof. auth.,"; or at least in profane inscriptions.
