Vocabulary of the Greek NT

We can quote only verse parallels for this word of 2 Peter (cf. Apoc Petr 6). Kaibel 548, a pretty epitaph on a boy of 16 (Nemausus in Gaul—Nismes) begins after Latin dedication—

Ἄνθεα πολλὰ γένοιτο νεοδμήτῳ ἐπὶ τύμβῳ ,

μὴ βάτος αὐχμηρή , μὴ κακὸν αἰγίπυρον .

The epithet will imply ";dark,"; ";funereal"; colour.

The combination quoted by Grimm from Aristotle recurs in Kaibel 431.3 (Antioch, not before ii/A.D.)—

κεῖμαι ἐς [αὐ ]χμηροὺς καὶ ἀλαμπέας Ἀίδος εὐνάς .

[Supplemental from 1930 edition]

αὐχμηρός . Add Vett. Val. p. 2.4.
