4.48 · Animals · Insects
gnat, mosquito small flying insect; feeds on human or animal blood; regarded as pest The straining of liquids referred to in MAT 23:24 is based on the regulations in Leviticus 11, in which the gnat is the smallest of the unclean creatures and the camel the largest.
For the only occurrence of κώνωψ in the NT, one may use a term which refers to any small flying insect which might fall into a beverage and thus have to be strained out.
