κόκκινος [page 352] To the quotations for this adj. from Plutarch and Epictetus given by Grimm-Thayer, Deissmann ( LAE p. 77) adds a reference to Herodas vi. 19 τὸν κόκκινον βαυβῶνα . From a later date we have such occurrences in the papyri as P Hamb I. 10 .24 (ii/A.D.) κοκκίνην , P Tebt II. 405 .5 (iii/A.D.) φορφυροῦ [ν ] καὶ κόκκινον , purple and scarlet (cf. Rev_17:4 ), and P Lond 193 verso .22 (ii/A.D.) (= II. p. 246), the accounts of a pawnshop, which show that a scarlet shirt κιτὼν κόκκινος realized an advance of 20 drachmae as against II drachmae for a new white shirt (χιτὼν ἄγναφος λευκός ). On Heb_9:19 we may refer to Abt ( Die Apologie des Apul ., p. 148), who quotes Theocr. ii. 2 φοινικέῳ οἰὸς ἀώτῳ , and P Lond 46 .338 (IV/A.D.) (= I. p. 77) ἅμματι φοινικίνῳ , pointing out der lustrative Charakter des Purpur. MGr κόκκινος , red : κοκκινίζω , blush.
