This word, which in Luke 12:54 is used of a ";rain-storm,"; appears frequently in our sources as a kind of term, techn. in connexion with land which has become waterlogged, e.g. P Tebt I. 61 (b).132 (B.C. 118–7) (ἔμβροχος) διὰ τὸ [ν ὄ ]μβρον τῶν παρακειμένων ὑδάτων. See also Syll 804 (=.3 1170).7 (ii/A.D.). For the ὄμβριμος cf. P Lond 121.224 (iii/A.D.) (=I. p. 91) ὕδωρ ὄμβριμον. Cognate with Lat. imber, ὄμβρος retains the nasal which ἀφρός has lost (Boisacq, p. 106).
