Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κοπρία [page 355]
This NT ἅπ . εἰρ . ( Luk_14:35 ) may be illustrated from P Oxy 1. 37 i. 6 (A.D. 49) (= Selections , p. 49) Πεσοῦρις . . . ἀνεῖλεν ἀπὸ κοπρίας ἀρρενικὸν σωμάτιον ὄνομα Ἡρακ [λᾶν , Pesouris picked up from the dung-heap a male foundling named Heraclas, P Ryl II. 162 .17 (A.D. 159) βορρᾶ κοπρία , on the north a dung-heap. On this word as common to the NT and the comic poets, see Kennedy Sources , p. 72 ff. : it survives in MGr. The wider usage of κοπρία to denote the spot where all kinds of rubbish are gathered together is discussed by Wilcken Archiv ii. p. 311 f.
