";brushwood"; (Act. 28:3), as in P Cairo Zen III. 59517.3 (iii/B.C.), wages to workmen εἰς συναγωγὴν φρυγάνων, ";for the gathering of brushwood."; In Syll 568 (=.3 984).6 (end of iv/B.C.) a priest undertakes μηδὲ [φ ]έρει (ν) ξύλα μηδὲ κοῦρον (";branches with leaves";) μηδὲ φρύγανα μηδ [ὲ ] φυλλόβολα (";branches shedding leaves";) ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ.
For the new παραφρυγάνισμος, see P Petr II. 6.11 (c. B.C. 250), where Mahaffy lakes the meaning to be the piling of brushwood bound with clay to raise the banks of the canal. In his Introduction to the vol. p. 28 f. he supplies an interesting parallel from Wood’s Sources of the Oxus, p. 22, where we are told that, when the river threatens to cut away its banks, the natives protect them with branches of tamarisk, in order to break the force of the water.
