Thayer's Greek Lexicon

Ἄγαρ (WH Ἅγάρ (see their Introductory § 408)), ἡ, indeclinable, (in Josephus, Ἀγάρα, (ης), δΘβΘψ (flight), Hagar, a bondmaid of Abraham, and by him the mother of Ishmael (Gen_16:1-16): Gal_4:24 ( L text T omit; Tr brackets). Since the Arabians according to Paul (who had formerly dwelt among them, Gal_1:17) called the rocky Matt. Sinai by a name similar in sound to δβψ ( i. e. rock), the apostle in the passage referred to employs the name Hagar allegorically to denote the servile sense of fear with which the Mosaic economy imbued its subjects. (Cf. B. D. American edition, pp. 978, 2366 note {a} ; Lightfoot's remarks appended to his Commentary on galatians, the passage cited.)
