Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
νῶτος [page 432]
In Rom_11:10 (from LXX Psa. 68꞉ 24 [MT Psa_69:23 ]) νῶτος replaces the classical νῶτον , as generally in the LXX (cf. Thackeray Gr. i. p. 155). In P Tebt I. 21 .8 (B.C. 115) σὺ οὖν μὴ δῷς νῶτον μηδενί , do not therefore run away from anybody (Edd.), and in P Oxy XIV. 1725 .9 (after A.D. 229) ὡς τὰ κατὰ νώτου ἑξῆς δη (λοῖ ), and ib. .17 κατὰ νώτου τοῦ ὅλου ὀνόματος , the gender is indeterminate. The compound νωτοφόρος , as in 2Ch_2:18 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδας νωτοφόρων , is found in P Petr III. 46 (2) .3 (Ptol.), a contract for the supply and carriage of bricks : cf. P Meyer 61 .5, .10 (iii/B.C.), P Tebt I. 115 .7, .22 (B.C. 115 3).
