Thayer's Greek Lexicon

παροψίς, παροψίδος, ἡ (παρά (which see IV. 1), and ὄψον, on which see ὀψάριον); 1. "a side-dish, a dish of dainties or choice food suited not so much to satisfy as to gratify the appetite; a side-accompaniment of the more solid food"; hence, equivalent to παροψημα; so in Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 4 and many Attic writings in Athen. 9, p. 367 d. following 2. the dish itself in which the delicacies are served up: Mat_23:25-26 (here T omits; WH brackets παροψίδος); Artemidorus Daldianus, oneir. 1, 74; Alciphron 3, 20; Plutarch, de vitand. aere alien. § 2. This latter use of the word is condemned by the Atticists; cf. Sturz, Lex. Xenophon, iii., 463f; Lob. ad Phryn., p. 176; (Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 265f); Poppo on Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 4.

παροψίς [page 497] For the late use of παροψίς in Mat_23:25 to denote the dish on which dainties were served rather than the dainties themselves (see Rutherford NP , p. 265 f.), cf. BGU III. 781 .2 (as amended Berichfigungen , p. 66 i/A.D.) παροψίδων ἀναγλύπτων , so .6, .14 : also Artem. p. 67 .6 πίνακες δὲ καὶ παροψίδες .
