Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

αὐλός. See the first citation s.v. αὐλητής. ὑπαυλισμός is a flute accompaniment. On a possible connexion of αὐλός with Heb 4$m “bore,” “ pierce,” and then “ pipe,” see Lewy Fremdworte, Ρ. 165f. But Lithuanian and Slavonic words given in Boisacq s.v. are much closer; and there is ἔναυλος, “yravine,’’ to be reckoned with. In BGU IV. 1125
