ὦμος, ὤμου, ὁ (ὈΙΩ equivalent to φέρω ((?); allied with Latinumerus, cf. Vanicek, p. 38; Curtius, § 487)), from Homer down, the shoulder: Mat_23:4; Luk_15:5.

ὦμος ō mos 2x the shoulder, Mat_23:4 ; Luk_15:5

ὦρος , -ου , ὁ , [in LXX chiefly for H7926 , H3802 ;] the shoulder: Mat_23:4 , Luk_15:5 .†

ὦμος [page 701] shoulder (Mat. 23:4, Luk. 15:5) : P Hamb I. 105 .15 (iii/B.C.) τὸν ἀριστερὸν ὦμον , and PSI V. 455 .16 (A.D. 178) a public physician reports ἐφῖδον τοῦτον . . ἔχοντα . . . ἐπὶ τῆς ἀριστερᾶς ὠμοπλάτης καὶ τ̣ο̣ῦ ὤμου τύμματα πληγῶν . Cf. P Cairo Zen III. 59381 .3 (iii/B.C.), where amongst other articles of meat we read of ὦμος ᾱ σκέλος ᾱ , and Syll 633 (= .3 1042) .18 (ii/iii A.D.) for the same combination in connexion with a sacrifice. The word is apparently used = beam in P Ryl II. 236 .23 (A.D. 256) ποίησον δὲ ἐξαυτῆς ὤμους δύο ἐλαιουργικοὺς κοπῆναι , have two beams (?) cut at once for oil-presses (Edd.) : cf. P Flor II. 233 .8 (A.D. 263) τέσσαρας ὤμους , with the editor s note. G 5608 ὠνέομαι [page 701] buy (for the form, see Rutherford NP p. 210ff.), is confined in the NT to a citation from the LXX in Act_7:26 . The verb is very common in our sources, e.g. P Tor I. I v. 7 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest. II. p. 35) ἐώνητο παρὰ Ἑλήκιος . . . πήχεις οἰκοπεδικοὺς ἕπτα ἥμισυ , P Gen I. 20 .6 (B.C. 109) ἣν ( sc. μερίδα γῆς ) ἐωνήσατο ἐγ βασιλικοῦ , BGU IV. 1146 .8 (B.C. 19) ἧς ἐώνηνται παρ᾽ αὐ [τοῦ , 1188 .19 (A.D. 13) βούλομαι ὠνή (σασθαι ) . . . ξύλα ἐξηραμμέ (να ), I wish to purchase some dried logs (Ed.), P Tebt II. 410 .6 (A.D. 16) χάριν οὗ παρορίζεται ὑπὸ γίτονος ἐ̣ω̣ν̣η̣μ̣ε̣ν̣ου τῶν γιτνιωσῶν αὐτῷ , on account of the encroachments being made on him by a neighbour who has bought some of the adjoining property (Edd.), P Oxy I. 78 .12 (iii/A.D.) ἔνανχος ἐωνημένος παρά τ (ινος ?) τὰς ὑπογεγραμμένας (ἀρούρας ), having lately bought from some one the hereinafter described land (?) (Edd.), and ib. VI. 914 8 (A.D. 486) διαφόρων βαμμάτων [ὧν ἐ ]ώνημαι παρὰ σοῦ , various dyes which I have bought from you. The subst. ὠνητής occurs in P Cairo Zen III. 59393 .2 (iii/B.C.) ὠνητής περὶ τοῦ ἵππου τοῦ μεγάλου , purchaser of the big horse, and for ὠνή , cf. P Oxy III. 486 .7 (A.D. 131) τὸν καθήκοντα τῆς ὠνῆς δημόσι [ον χρημα ]τισμόν , the regular official contract of the safe, (Edd.). Reference may also be made to the Delphic inscr. of B.C. 200 199, Syll 845 .14 where, with regard to the manumission of a slave, the words occur τὰν τιμὰν ἀπέχει . τὰν δὲ ὠνὰν ἐπίστευσε Νίκαια τῶι Ἀπόλλωνι ἐπ᾽ ἐλευθερίαι , the price he (viz. the previous vendor) hath received. The purchase, however, Nicaea hath committed unto Apollo, for freedom. See Deissmann LAE 2 p. 323 ff., where the usage referred to is discussed as illustrating the Pauline conception of Christian freedom.
