κηρίον disappears from the true text of Luk_24:42 , but for the word itself see PSI V. 535 .19 (iii/B.C.) κηρίον ᾱ . Cf. also P Lond 1171 verso .1(a). .8 (A.D. 42) (= III. p. 106) where we read of an ἐγλήμπτωρ μέλιτος καὶ κηροῦ , and P Leid W vii. 46 (ii/iii A.D.) ποίσον ( l. ποίησον ) ἱπποπόταμων ( l. ον ) ἐκ κηροῦ πυρροῦ .
