Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In Matthew 10:10 al. πήρα is usually understood as ";a travellingbag"; containing clothes or provisions for the journey; but Deissmann (LAE, p. 108 ff.) prefers to see in it ";a collectingbag"; such as beggar-priests of pagan cults carried for receiving alms, and in support of this view cites an inscr. in which a slave of the Syrian goddess tells how he went begging for the ";lady";, adding—ἀ (π)οφόρησε ἑκάστη ἀγωγὴ πήρας ο ̄, ";each journey brought in seventy bags"; (BCH xxi. (1897) p. 60—Imperial period). Consequently, as Deissmann’s translator points out (LAE l.c. n..3), ";wallet"; is the right word in English, as seen e.g. in Shakespeare Troilus and Cressida, III. iii. 145, ";Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back, Wherein he puts alms for oblivion."; For the dim. πηρίδιον see Epict. iii. 22. 10, and Menandrea p. 14.114 πηρίδιον γνωρισμάτων, ";a wallet-ful of birth tokens."; The etymology is uncertain.
