  • 61 κόκκος

    κόκκος, ου, ὁ (s. prec. entry; Hom. Hymns, Hdt. et al.; Lam 4:5 ‘purple (garments)’; TestSol 18:33; JosAs 16:13 cod. A; SIG 1173, 12; PGM 7, 638) gener. ‘grain, seed’.
    the kernel of various plants, seed, grain: mustard Mt 13:31; 17:20; Mk 4:31; Lk 13:19; 17:6; of wheat, etc. (Favorinus [beg. II A.D.] in Diog. L. 6, 88) J 12:24 (Ocellus [II B.C.] c. 16 H.: the ἀνάλυσις of the fruit makes the seed free; cp. Philo, Aet. M. 94ff); 1 Cor 15:37 (HRiesenfeld, TU 77, ’61, 43–55; on the imagery s. Straub 70–72).
    Formerly thought to be a berry, the kermes, a female scale insect (similar to the cochineal), clings to the leaves of an oak tree. The dried bodies of these insects were used by the ancients to prepare a purplish-red dye (s. Theophr., HP 3, 7, 3; 3, 16, 1; Gradwohl [s. κόκκινος end] 73–78; WBorn, Scarlet: CIBA Review 7, ’38, 206–14). By metonymy κ. was applied to the color (‘scarlet’) as well as to fabric treated with the dye (Dromo Com. [IV B.C.] Fgm. 1, 4 Kock [in Athen. 6, 240d]; PHolm 22, 1; Sir 45:10; Jos., Bell. 6, 390) scarlet (color) 1 Cl 8:3 (quot. of unknown orig.; here prob. of purple-dyed fabric [cp. Lam 4:5] because of the corresponding σάκκος).—DELG. M-M. TW.
