Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κῆπος. This homely word, substituted by Lk (13%) for ἀγρός in Mt (13°!) and γῆ in Mk (43), is well attested in the vernacular, e.g. P Petr III. 267 (Ptol.) ἢ παράδεισον ἢ κῆπον, where Grenfell (Rev. Laws, p. 95) thinks that the παράδεισος may have contained palms and fruit trees and the κῆπος vegetables and flowers, and 24. 391% (Ptol.), an account for a χῶμα between the κῆποι of two men.
