Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μύλος, ";a mill,"; as in Matthew 24:41, Revelation 18:22, occurs in P Oxy II. 278.17 (a lease—A.D. 17), where it is laid down—μετὰ τὸν χρόνον ἀπ [οκα ]ταστησάτωι ὁ μα ̣νης τὸν μύλον ὑγιῆι καὶ ἀσινῆι, οἷον καὶ παρείληφεν, ";at the end of the time the servant shall restore the mill safe and uninjured in the condition in which he received it"; (Edd.). With the μύλος ὀνικός (Mark 9:42), cf. P Ryl II. 167.10 (A.D. 39) μυλαῖον ἐνεργὸν ἐν ᾧ μύλοι Θηβαικοὶ τρεῖς σὺν κώπαις καὶ τραπέζαις, ";a mill in full working order, containing 3 Theban millstones, with handles and nether-stones"; (Edd.), and similarly BGU IV. 1067.5 (A.D. 101–2). See also the new compound μυλονικός in P Lond 335.7 (A.D. 166–7 or 198–9) (= II. p. 191). Μυλοκόπος, ";mill-stone-worker,"; is found in P Tebt II. 278.12 (early i/A.D.).
