Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κοπρία. This NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (Lk 1455) may be illustrated from P Oxy I. 37/6 (A.D. 49) (= Selecttons, 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. 16217 (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 Sozvces, 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.
