ἰ̄ός 3.Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `poison' (Pi., trag., Plu.).Compounds: As 1. member e. g. in ἰο-βόρος `poison eating' (Nic., Opp.);Derivatives: ἰώδης `poisonous' (Rom. empire).Etymology: Old word for `poison', often replaced by euphemistic expressions ( φάρμακον, Lat. venēnum, Germ. gift, French poison etc.), but still present in the languages of the margin, i. e. Indo-Iranian and Italo-Celtic: Skt. vĭṣá- n., Av. vī̆ša-, Lat. vīrus n. (genus sec.) = Irisch fī, IE *u̯ī̆so-; on the quantity cf. e. g. the cases in Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 91. Beside these thematic forms there is Av. viš- `id.' and, with deviating meaning, Skt. viṣ- `faeces'. Thus Lat. vīrus also means `tough fluidity, slime, sap'; cf. also Welsh gwyar `blood' and 4. ἰός. As IE *u̯ī̆s(o)- is prob. partly a tabuistic substitution, one considered connection with a verb, Skt. veṣati `flow out' (gramm.), with a Germ. river-name as Wisura `Weser', Vistula `Weichsel' (Krahe Beitr. z. Namenforschung 4, 38ff.); however, these `Old European' river names of Krahe are in general pre-, i.e. non-IE. - Lit. bei Bq, WP. 1, 243f., W.-Hofmann s. vīrus.Page in Frisk: 1,730Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἰ̄ός 3

24 καταβολή

Readily connected with the idea of founding is the sense beginning (Jos., Bell. 2, 260 ἀποστάσεως καταβολή) τ. καταβολὴν τ. στάσεως ποιεῖν be responsible for beginning the dissension (cp. Polyb. 13, 6, 2 καταβολὴν ἐποιεῖτο τυραννίδος) 1 Cl 57:1. Esp. καταβολὴ κόσμου (Plut., Mor. 956a ἅμα τῇ πρώτῃ καταβολῇ τ. ἀνθρώπων): ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου from the foundation of the world (Theoph., Ant. 3, 26 [p. 258, 27]; difft., Polyb. 1, 36, 8; 24, 8, 9; Diod S 12, 32, 2—all three ἐκ καταβολῆς) Mt 13:35; 25:34; Lk 11:50; Hb 4:3; 9:26; Rv 13:8; 17:8; B 5:5. πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου (AssMos Fgm. a) J 17:24; Eph 1:4; 1 Pt 1:20.—OHofius, ZNW 62, ’71, 123–38. Also abs. (without κόσμου, s. κόσμος 3; cp. EpArist 129) Mt 13:35 v.l. This may be the mng. of Hb 11:11, where it is said of Sarah δύναμιν εἰς καταβολὴν σπέρματος ἔλαβεν she received the ability to establish a posterity (s. NRSV mg.). But② κ., a t.t. for the sowing of seed, used of begetting (τοῦ σπέρματος [εἰς γῆν ἢ μήτραν M. Ant. 4, 36]: Plut., Mor. 320b σπορὰ κ. καταβολή of the procreation of Romulus by Ares and Silvia; 905e; Ps.-Lucian, Amor. 19; Galen, Aphorism. 4, 1, XVII/2, 653 K.; cp. Philo, Op.

If this mng. is correct for Hb 11:11, there is prob. some error in the text, since this expression could not be used of Sarah, but only of Abraham (e.g. αὐτῇ Σάρρᾳ=‘together w. Sarah’ is read by W-H. margin; Riggenbach; Michel; B-D-F §194, 1.

Against the rdg. ὑσσός (not accepted by Weymouth, NAB [the margin suggests probability of ‘symbolic’ usage], NRSV, REB [marginal ref. to ‘javelin’]; 20th Century ‘hyssop-stalk’) it has been urged (by WBauer et al.) that the purifying effect of the hyssop (used acc. to Ex 12:22 specif. at the Passover) is the most important consideration here.—ILöw, Die Flora der Juden II 1924, 72f; 84–101, on J 19:29 esp. 99–101; LFonck, Streifzüge durch die biblische Flora 1900, 109; EbNestle, Zum Ysop bei Johannes, Josephus u.
