ῥυπαρός / ῥυπαίνω [page 565] ῥυπαρός shabby, soiled, is applied to clothing in P Giss I, 76 .3 (ii/A.D.) τρίβωνα [ς ] ῥυπαρὰς̣ β̄ καὶ στολὴν ὁμοίως λευκήν , two soiled cloaks and likewise a white robe, as in Jas_2:2 : cf. P Fay 16 .10 (i/B.C.) σίτου ῥυπαροῦ , dirty (i.e. unwinnowed) corn, and P Ryl II, 72 .71 (B.C. 99 8) κ (ριθῆς ) ῥυπαρ [ᾶς . The adj. is very common in the papyri in connexion with payments, and was generally understood as denoting debased coin, e.g. P Tebt II. 348 .6 (A.D. 23) ἀργυρίου ῥυπ (αροῦ ) [δ ]ρ [α ]χμὰς δεκάδυο , twelve dr. debased silver (Edd.), and P Fay 52 ( a ) .3 (a receipt for poll-tax A.D. 191 2) ἐπὶ λ [ό ]γου ῥυπ (αρὰς ) δραχμ (ὰς ) ὀκτώ . But, according to Milne Theban Ostraca p. 104 (cf. Annals of Archaeology and Anthropology vii. p. 64 ff.), the word does not appear to refer to any distinct class of coins all Roman tetradrachms of Alexandria might have been called ῥυπαρά and probably was a term of account, like the bad piastre of some Turkish towns, e.g. Smyrna. Hence in P Ryl II. 194 .3 ῥυπ (αρὰς ) (δραχμὰς ) ἑπτὰ ἡμιοβ (έλιον ) the editors translate 7 drachmae of discounted silver ½ obol. ῥυπαίνω make filthy, defile, occurs in the NT only in Rev_22:11 ὁ ῥυπαρὸς ῥυπανθήτω ἔτι , where, as Swete points out ad l ., the aor. (not ῥυπαίνεσθαι ) indicates the fixity of the state into which the ῥυπαρός has entered. For the act. cf. Jos. c. Ap . i. 220 ῥυπαίνειν τὴν εὐγένειαν . . . ἐπεχείρησαν , and Vett. Val. p. 1168 ψύξει τοὺς γάμους ἢ ῥυπαίνει .
