Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

᾿Αραβία. For ᾽Α. as the name of an Egyptian nome situated on the east side of the Nile, see P Lond 4010 (B.c. 116-11) (=II. p. 14), P Oxy IV. 709° (¢c. A.D. 50). There would seem to be a reference to an ᾿Αραβία ἄνω in PSI 5614 (A.D. 107), where see the editor’s note.
