Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Συρία [page 616] The noun συρία is applied to a Syrian cloth in P Hib I. 51 .5 (B.C. 245) συρίας λάμβανε ἑξ [αδρ ]α̣χμους , accept Syrian clothes at 6 drachmae : see the editors note on l. .3 , and cf. ib . 38 .7 (B.C. 252 1), P Cairo Zen I. 59010 .25 ( c . B.C. 259). An interesting ex. of the private cult of the Συρία θεός in the Fayϋm district is afforded by P Magd 2 (B.C. 222) (= Chrest . I. 101), where we hear of a soldier Μάχατας having erected a shrine in her honour, possibly, as Wilcken suggests, at the instigation of his foreign wife Ἀσία .3 ἀνοικοδομήσαντος ἐν τῶι αὑτοῦ τόπωι ἱερὸν Συρίας Θεοῦ καὶ Ἀφροδίτης Βερενίκης . On the worship of the Syrian gods, see now U. Wilcken s paper in Festgabe fόr Adolf Deissmann (Tόbingen, 1927), p. 1 ff.
