ὠτίον, For this dimin. of οὖς, ‘‘an ear” (Mt 2651, a/.), reference may be made to the new Saying of Jesus, P Oxy I. 17%%., which, as restored by White Sayzmgs p. xviii., runs—Aéyer ᾿Ιησοῦς: ἀκούεις συνέκλεισας. For other exx. of ὠτίον cf. P Oxy I. 1081? (meat bill of a cook—a.p. 183 or 215) ὠτίον a, ἄκρον a, νεφρία B, “1 ear, I trotter, 2 kidneys,’ P Leid WY! 86 (ii/iii a.D.)
