γάλα, γάλακτος, τό (Hom.+) milk

ⓐ as material fluid 1 Cor 9:7; B 6:17. W. honey as sign of fertility 6:8, 10, 13 (cp. Ex 3:8, 17; 13:5 al.; Lucian, Saturn. 7, Ep. Sat. 1, 20; Himerius, Or. 13, 7 W. ῥεῖν μέλι καὶ γάλα; Dio Chrys. 18 [35], 18 Indian rivers, in which milk, wine, honey and oil flow). As product of human mammary gland γάλα τ. γυναικῶν (Hippocr., Mul. 8: VII, p. 206 L.) ApcPt, Fgm. 2 p. 12, 24 (s. πήγνυμι 3). Of extraordinary circumstance [ὅτι τραχηλοκοπη]θείσης τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ γάλα ἐξῆλθεν when (Paul) was beheaded, milk came out from him (evidently in contrast to blood) AcPl Ha 11, 1.

ⓑ fig. (cp. Philo, Agr. 9 ἐπεὶ δὲ νηπίοις μέν ἐστι γάλα τροφή, τελείοις δὲ τὰ ἐκ πυρῶν πέμματα, καὶ ψυχῆς γαλακτώδεις μὲν ἂν εἶεν τροφαὶ κτλ., Omn. Prob. Lib. 160, Migr. Abr. 29 al.; Epict. 2, 16, 39; 3, 24, 9. For Hebraic associations s. FDanker, ZNW 58, ’67, 94f) of elementary Christian instruction 1 Cor 3:2; Hb 5:12f. τὸ λογικὸν ἄδολον γ. the unadulterated spiritual milk 1 Pt 2:2 (Sallust. 4, 10 p. 8, 24 of the mysteries: γάλακτος τροφὴ ὥσπερ ἀναγεννωμένων).

λογικός, ή, όν ([adv. λογικῶς Ath. 27, 2] a favorite expr. of philosphers since Aristot.; SIG 803, 5. Not LXX, but oft. Philo, Just., Tat., Ath.) pert. to being carefully thought through, thoughtful λογικὴ λατρεία a thoughtful service (in a dedicated spiritual sense) Ro 12:1 (the cognitive aspect anticipates the phrase εἰς τὸ δοκιμάζειν ὑμᾶς τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ; cp. Herm. Wr. 1, 31 λογικὴ θυσία; 13, 18; 21; Epict. 1, 16, 20f the singing of hymns is the sacred service of a human being, as a λογικός=one endowed with reason; 3, 1, 26 τὸ λογικὸν ἔχεις ἐξαίρετον• τοῦτο κόσμει καὶ καλλώπιζε. Philo, Spec. Leg. 1, 277 God places no value on sacrificial animals, but on τοῦ θύοντος πνεῦμα λογικόν. TestLevi 3:6 λ. καὶ ἀναίμακτος προσφορά [v.l. θυσία]; Ath., 13, 2; Eus., HE 4, 23, 13; cp. the exhortative pattern of Plut., Mor. 478de.—Rtzst., Mysterienrel.³ 328f; Ltzm., Hdb. exc. on Ro 12:1; BSchmidt, D. geistige Gebet, diss. Bresl. 1916; OCasel, Jahrb. f. Liturgiewissensch. 4, 1924, 38ff; CMoule, JTS n.s. 1, ’50, 34f). Most likely τὸ λογικὸν ἄδολον γάλα 1 Pt 2:2 is to be taken in a related way pure spiritual milk; it is to be borne in mind that λ. means spiritual not only in the sense of πνευματικός, but also in contrast to ‘literal’, w. the mng. ‘metaphorical’ (cp. Pel-Leg. p. 20: the bishop is the shepherd τῶν λογικῶν προβάτων τοῦ Χριστοῦ; Eus., HE 1, 1, 4 ἐκ λογικῶν λειμώνων; s. DMcCartney, ZNW 82, ’91, 128–32, w. emphasis on Hellenic connection of reason and verbal communication).—DELG s.v. λέγω B 2. M-M. TW.

πιστικός, ή, όν (πίστις; since Pla., Gorg. 455a) only as modifying νάρδος, w. πολυτελής or πολύτιμος Mk 14:3; J 12:3; variously interpreted, but evidently suggesting exceptional quality.

① genuine, unadulterated. In later writers π. means that which belongs to πίστις, ‘faithful, trustworthy’ (Artem. 2, 32; Vett. Val. p. 10, 14; pap ‘trusted pers.’; Celsus 1, 39 λόγος πιστικός). Fr. this basis π. has become interpreted to mean genuine, unadulterated (Eus., Dem. Ev. 9, 8, 9 τοῦ πιστικοῦ τῆς καινῆς διαθήκης κράματος. Given as a possibility by Theophyl. Sim., s. 3 below. See B-D-F §113, 2; Mlt-H. 379f).

② The derivation fr. πίνω (so L-S-J-M), w. the sense drinkable, liquid, is very improbable (Frisk II 541).

③ Some derive π. from a name of some kind (Theophyl. Sim. [MPG CXXIII 645b] πιστικὴν νάρδον νοεῖ ἤτοι εἶδος νάρδου οὕτω λεγόμενον πιστικὴν ἢ τὴν ἄδολον νάρδον); e.g. the Gk. form of the Lat. spicatum (Galen XII 604 K. τὰ πολυτελῆ μύρα τῶν πλουσίων γυναικῶν ἃ καλοῦσιν αὗται σπίκατα other reff. Wetstein on Mk 14:3.—EbNestle, ZNW 3, 1902, 169ff), or fr. πιστάκια ‘pistachio tree’ (AMerx on Mk 14:3; MBlack, An Aramaic Approach³, ’67, 223–25) or the East-Indian picƷita, the name of the plant Nardostachys Jatamansi.—UvWilamowitz, Reden u. Vorträge² 1902, 204; AJannaris, ClR 16, 1902, 9; RKöbert, Biblica 29, ’48, 279–81. W-S. §16, 3b note 24. S. also νάρδος.—DELG s.v. πείθομαι. M.M. Spicq.
