Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
βυθός [page 118]
P Oxy VI. 886 .10 (iii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 111) ἐπικαλοῦ με̣̣[ν ] (?) τὸν (ἥλιον ) κὲ τοὺς ἐν βυθῷ θεοὺς πάντας , call upon the sun and all the gods in the deep in a magic formula. From the same kind of literature we may cite P Leid W x. 23 (ii/iii A.D.) ἀναπνεύσας γὰρ πωππύσει ἐκ τοῦ βηθοῦ , respirans enim poppysmum edit ex profundo, and xxv. 28 ἐν τῷ βυθῷ τὴν δύναμιν ἔχουσαν ἐμοί , in profundo potentiam habentem mihi (Ed.). The word was prominent in Valentinian speculation, and it is not surprising that it should figure in magic papyri, which breathe a kindred air.
