Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
θάμβος [page 283]
This originally poetic word (Thumb Dial. p. 373) is confined in the NT to the Lukan writings, where, to judge from Act_3:10 , it is to be regarded as neuter : cf. gen. sing. θάμβους in Son_3:8 (Thackeray Gr. i. p. 158). On the other hand in Lk 4 .86 the Bezan text has θ . μέγας : cf. Ecc_12:5 θάμβοι .
