Vocabulary of the Greek NT

περιστερά (a Semitic borrowing=bird of Istar) is common in the sense of ";dove,"; cf. e.g. P Flor III. 361.5 (A.D. 82–3) περιστερὰς ἑκατόν. The diminutive περιστέριον is found in BGU IV. 1095.16 (A.D. 57) ἱμακάτιον περιστερα ̣ι ̣ων (l. ἡμικάδιον περιστερίων), ";a half-jar of (preserved) pigeons,"; and περιστερίδιον in BGU II. 596.7 (A.D. 84) (= Selections, p. 64) where the writer invites a friend to accompany the bearer of the letter, ὅπως εἰς τὴν ἑω (= ο)ρτὴν περιστερείδι ̣α ἡμεῖν ἀγοράσηι, ";that he may buy for us young pigeons for the feast,"; P Giss I. 80.5 (ii/A.D.) τὰ [π ]εριστερίδι [α καὶ ὀ ]ρνυθάρια, ἃ οὐκ ἤωθα ἐσθεῖν, πέμ [ψον. . ., and P Lond ined. Inv. N. 1575 (iii/A.D.) (cited by Olsson Papyrusbriefe, p. 195) μνημονεύσατε τῶν περιστεριδίων ἡμῶν (a schoolboy to his father). In P Oxy VIII. 1127.8 (A.D. 183) we have the lease of the upper-room of a house with a pigeon-cote—τὸν ὑπερῷον τόπον τῆς. . . οἰκίας καὶ ὃν ἔχει ἐκεῖ περιστερεῶνα : cf. Wilcken Archiv i. p. 129, Luckhard Privathaus, p. 99.

According to Plummer ICC ad Luke 3:22, in ancient Jewish symbolism the dove is Israel, and not the Spirit, but see Nestle ZNTW vii. (1906), p. 358 f., and Abrahams Studies in Pharisaism i. p. 47 ff.
