κολλυβιστής [page 353] This late word ( Mat_21:12 , Mar_11:15 , Joh_2:15 ), which is condemned by the Atticists (cf. Rutherford NP p. 499) occurs in the census-paper P Petr III. 59 ( a ) i. 7 (Ptol.), where mention is made of κολλ ]υ̣βισταὶ ς̄ . Its meaning money-changer is determined by κόλλυβος , which from denoting a small coin had come to be applied to the rate or premium of exchange : cf. the long papyrus roll of accounts P Goodsp Cairo 30 v. 12 (A.D. 191 2), the payment of a tax κο [λ ]ούβου , on exchange, P Fay 41 i. 15, ii. 14 (A.D. 186), 56 .7 (A.D. 106), and P Lond 372 .7 (ii/A.D.) as published in P Tebt II. p. 339 (with the editors note) : see also Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 381. The subst. κολλυβιστήριον is found in the fragmentary P Tebt II. 485 (ii/B.C.) and the adj. κολλυβιστικός in BGU IV. 1118 .23 (B.C. 22) διὰ τῆς Κάστορος κολλυβιστικῆς τραπέζης , al . (see further Preisigke Girowesen , p. 32). The word is of Semitic origin (Lewy Fremdwφrter , p.119 f.).
