Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κοπή [page 354]
κοπή is common in the papyri = cutting, e.g. P Oxy II. 280 .17 (A.D. 88 9) τὸ μὲν ἥμισυ εἰς ἄρωσιν τὸ δὲ ἕτερον ἥμισυ εἰς κοπήν , the half for ploughing, the other half for cutting, ib. III. 499 .15 (A.D. 121) χόρτον εἰς κοπὴν καὶ ἐπινομήν , grass for cutting and grazing. In P Rev L xiv. 5 (B.C. 259) οἱ κοπεῖς are the men who cut the crop in an oil-factory a new sense of the word. See also s.v. θρίξ , and for the impost called κοπὴ τριχός cf. P Tebt II. p. 96. In a curious medical questionnaire, certainly later than ii/A.D., we find τί ἐστιν κ [οπή ]; [ἡ τῶν ] σωμάτων τομή (see Archiv ii. p. 1 ff.).
