Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
γόμος is common of the cargo or freight of a ship as in Ac 21%, ἐνβαλέσθαι αὐτοῦ τὸν γόμον, ‘ please to see that his freight is embarked with all despatch” (Edd), 7d. IV. 708% 16 (a.p. 188) τοῦ] καταχθέντος yopou, ‘‘the cargo despatched.” ΤΙ may also be a term of quantity, a ‘‘load,” as in Ostr 1258 (A.D. 88) ἀπέχω παρὰ σοῦ γόμος (sc.-ov) ἀχύρου a, 77. 1010” (Roman) τήν αὐθεντικὴν ἀποχὴν ἀχύρ[ου] γόμου ἑνός. 70. 10153 (ii/iii A.D.) shows the plural: cf. P Fay 102 (¢. A.D. 105), a series of farm accounts, in which we read of yépou and 8payp(ara) of wheat and barley. Another kind of merchandise figures in P Flor IIT. 36918 (A.D. 139 or 149) κ(αὶ) δώσο kat’ ἔτος ξύλων καθάρσεων γόμον ἕνα. An inscr from Lower Egypt, beyond Philae, dated A.D. 214-5, OG/S 209%, 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 , yoveus ship’s load, these inscriptions must refer to the waves onerariae: ot ἀπὸ τοῦ yopov is in several inscrr. a term for the Whcle 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 IT. 129° (A.D. 256) ὅπως γομώσῃ τὰ ξύλα, P Oxy VI. 9388 (iii/iv A.v.), and P. Giss I. 544 (iv/v A.D.) πλοῖα παρῆλθαν (/.—ev) γομώμενα.
