Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
γόμος [page 130]
γόμος is common of the cargo or freight of a ship as in Act_21:3 , e.g. P Oxy I. 63 .6 (ii/iii A.D.) προνόησον σὺν πάσῃ σπουδῇ ἐνβαλέσθαι αὐτοῦ τὸν γόμον , please to see that his freight is embarked with all despatch (Edd), ib. IV. 708 .3, .16 (A.D. 188) τοῦ ] καταχθέντος γόμου , the cargo despatched. It may also be a term of quantity, a load, as in Ostr 1258 (A.D. 88) ἀπέχω παρὰ σοῦ γόμος ( sc. -ον ) ἀχύρου ᾱ , ib. 1010 .5 (Roman) τήν αὐθεντικὴν ἀποχὴν ἀχύρ [ου ] γόμου ἑνός . Ib. 1015 .4 (ii/iii A.D.) shows the plural : cf. P Fay 102 ( c. A.D. 105), a series of farm accounts, in which we read of γόμοι and δράγμ (ατα ) of wheat and barley. Another kind of merchandise figures in P Flor III. 369 .18 (A.D. 139 or 149) κ (αὶ ) δώσο κατ᾽ ἔτος ξύλων καθάρσεων γόμον ἕνα . An inscr. from Lower Egypt, beyond Philae, dated A.D. 214 5, OGIS 209 .3 , gives the title ἱερεὺς γόμου to a certain Apollonius Soter. Dittenberger s note cites about forty inscrr. for this title, and others where a προστάτης τοῦ γόμου accompanies this priest. He observes that, since γόμος always means a ship s load, these inscriptions must refer to the naves onerariae : οἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ γόμου is in several inscrr. a term for the whole of this service. In these the special ref. is to the boats carrying stone from the quarries.
The verb γομόω is mentioned above under γεμίζω : for some instances see P Flor II. 129 .5 (A.D. 256) ὅπως γομώσῃ τὰ ξύλα , P Oxy VI. 938 .6 (iii/iv A.D.), and P. Giss I. 54 .11 (iv/v A.D.) πλοῖα παρῆλθαν ( l. εν ) γομώμενα .
