πικρία is properly ";an embittered and resentful spirit which refuses reconciliation"; (Robinson ad Ephesians 4:31). For a weakened sense cf. BGU II. 417.5 (ii/iii A.D.), where a father counsels his son not to be too buoyed up in view of ";the hardness of the times";—τὴν τοῦ καιροῦ πικρίαν. An interesting ex. of the word occurs in P Leid Wxi. 45 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 121) ἐφάνη διὰ τῆς πυ (= ι)κρίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Νοῦς. We may add Vett. Val. p. 249.16 πικρίας δεσπόζει. MGr πίκρα, ";bitterness,"; ";sorrow.";
