Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Κιλικία. Two reff. which have a certain relation to this district may be recorded here. The first introduces us to a Cilician physician who, on visiting the tombs of the Kings at Thebes, records his impression in the ννογά5--- Θεόκριτος Κίλιξ ἰατρὸς ἰδὼν [ἐθαύμασα] (Precsigke 1911). Thesecond mentions in a boat’s equipment κιλίκιον, evidently an article of the ‘‘ coarse cloth”’ or cé/écéum, woven from the hair of Cilician goats (P Lond 1164 (4)! (A.D. 212) (=III. p. 164)). The ingeniously minded, in search of links of connexion with the NT, may be reminded by the former that Luke, even if an Antiochene by birth, may have acquired some of his medical knowledge at Tarsus, while the second points to the trade of tent-making from this very material, which Paul may first have learned in his native city (cf. Ac 18°).
