Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
σαλπίζω [page 568]
sound a trumpet, is often understood metaph. in Mat_6:2 , as by Klostermann in HZNT , where he compares the use of the subst. in Achilles Tatius viii. 10 οὐχ ὑπὸ σάλπιγγι μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ κήρυκι μοιχεύεται . For a defence of the literal meaning by a reference to the sounding of the ram s horn ( shofar ) on the occasion of public fasts, see Bόchler in JTS x. (1909), p. 266 ff., also Klein in ZNTW vi. (1905), p. 203 f.
