ῥύσις is very common of the ";flow"; or ";yield"; of wine at the vintage, see e.g. P Giss I. 79iii. 12 (c A.D. 117) ἐὰν δ ]ε ̣̣ ὁ θε [ὸ ]ς ἐπιτρέψῃ πολλὴν ῥύσιν [ἔσεσθα ]ι εἰς ἔτους, τάχα διὰ τὴν ἐσομέ [νην εὐ ]ωνίαν τοῦ γενήματος ἀθ ̣υμή [σουσι οἱ γ ]εοῦχοι, and the other exx. collected by the editor ad l. The noun seems to have a different meaning in P Bad 15.31 (i/B.C.) εἰπε ̣̣ δὲ τῆ ἀδελφῆ πέμψαι μοι τὴν ῥύσιν, ἵνα χειρογραφήσω. For its use in connexion with the ";flow"; of blood, as in Mark 5:25, Luke 8:43, see Vett. Val. p. 282.30. Ῥυτόν is applied to a drinking-horn in P Petr III. 42 H (7).3 (c. B.C. 250) (= Witkowski.2, p. 13).
