Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κράββατος [page 357] κράββατος , the poor man s bed or mattress, and therefore better suited to the narrative in Mar_2:4 than κλίνη which Mt (9:2 ) and Lk (5:18 ) substitute. In Act_5:15 κράββατος is distinguished from κλινάριον : cf. 9 .33 where Lk may have kept the original word of his informant. The word is late (Lob. Phryn. p. 62 σκίμπους λέγε , ἀλλὰ μὴ κράββατος ), and is probably rightly traced to Macedonian origin (Sturzius Dial. Mac. p. 175 f.). With Mar_2:12 Norden ( Ant. Kunstprosa , ii. p. 532 n. .1 ) contrasts Lucian Philops. 16 ἀράμενος τὸν σκίμποδα , ἐφ᾽ οὗ ἐκεκόμιστο , ᾤχετο ἐς τὸν ἀγρὸν ἀπιών . The spelling varies, but the form given above is found in the best NT MSS. (WSchm p. 56), though ΰ on 10 out of 11 occurrences prefers κράβακτος , for which we can now cite P Tebt II. 406 .19 (inventory of property c. A.D. 266) κράβακτος ξύλινος τέλειος , a wooden bedstead in good order, P Gen I. 68 .10 (A.D. 382) ἑρματικὼν χράβακτων ( l . ἑρματικὸν κράβακτον ) : see also the late P Grenf II. 111 .32 (v/vi A.D.) (= Chrest. I. 135) κραβάκ̣τ̣(ιον ), where the editors note that κράββατος is used of a bier by Cedrenus, Justinian. an. 31 τοὺς κ . τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν (Migne, P.G. cxxi. 736 c), and compare κραβατταρία in the same sense in Chron. Paschal . an. 605 ( ib. xcii. 976 a), al . Κράββατος is found in an inventory of Trajan s reign, P Lend 191 .16 (A.D. 103 117) (= II. p. 265) : cf. Epict. i. 24. 14 and κραββάτιον in ib. iii. 22. 74. In an ostracon, probably Ptolemaic, published in Mιl. Nicole p. 184 we find κράβατος as in Mar_2:4 B* : cf. Lat. grabattus , showing that in the West the form with one β prevailed. WSchm p. 56 cites κραβάτριος from CIG II. 2114 d .1 in the sense of ἀρχικοιτω [ε ]ίτης ( ib. add. 2132 d .6 : cf. Act_12:20 ). In the German edition of his Prolegomena ( Einleitung , p. 60) Moulton has a note on the significance of the orthographical peculiarities of the NT uncials in connexion with such a word as κράββατος in helping to fix the provenance of the MSS. : the note is reproduced in Lake s Introduction to his edition of the Cod. Sinaiticus , p. xi.Add that Codex Washington (W) regularly spells the word κράβαττον . According to Thumb ( Indog. Forsch. ii. p. 85) κρεββάτι is the normal form in MGr.
