οἰνοπότης [page 444] This compound subst. ( Mat_11:19 , Luk_7:34 ) is found in the dream of Nectonabus, P Leid U iv. 21 (ii/B.C.) (= I. p. 125), as edited by Wilcken Mιl. Nicole p. 584, καὶ ἔδοξεν αὐτῷ φύσι ὄντι οἰνοπότη ῥαθυμῆσαι πρὶν ἢ ἅψασθαι τοῦ ἔργου , and it seemed good to him (i.e. Petesius), since by nature he was a wine-drinker, to take a holiday before he began work.
