Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

σαλπίζω, ‘sound a trumpet,’ is often understood metaph. in Mt 65, as by Klostermann in 4ZN7, where he compares the use of the subst. in Achilles Tatius viii. 10 οὐχ ὑπὸ σάλπιγγι μόνον ἀλλὰ Kal 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 Biichler in JTS x. (1909), p. 266 ff., also Klein in ZV7TV vi. (1905), p. 203 f.
