κτίσμα [page 362]
In the NT ( 1Ti_4:4 al. , cf. Wis_9:2 ) κτίσμα seems to be always used in a concrete sense = created thing, creature, but for the meaning foundation we may cite P Lond 121 .483 (iii/A.D.) (= I. p. 99) ἐπάνω τῶν τεσσάρων κτισμάτων τοῦ κόσμου , BGU I. 3 .19 (A.D. 605) τὰ ἀναλωθέντα παρὰ σοῦ εἰς τὸ κτίσμα τῆς ἐκεῖσε ἐπαύλεως .
