Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Syll 939.11 μηδὲ ἄνθεα παρφέρην (ἐν τὸ ἱερόν). OGIS 365.7 (ii/B.C.) has ἀνθεών, ";viridarium,"; and Vettius Valens, p. 15.4, speaks of ἀνθηραὶ (μοῖραι). The noun in its two NT occurrences only repeats Isaiah 40:6 f., but it is fairly common in LXX, and survives in MGr. It recurs in P Leid W.
