KATEDHSEN TA TRAUMAATA AUTOU EPICEWN ELAION KAI OINON 'he bound up his
wounds, pouring in oil and wine' Lk 10:34.

Nida & Lowe have 6.205 MURON, OU n a strongly aromatic and expensive
ointment - 'perfume, perfumed oil.'

ELAION can also have fragrance added to it, but I do not think that MURON
would be used for medical pruposes.

Would you please use a signature in which you give your first and last
name? If you check the fac you received when you registered you would see
that a signature is required.

Thanks,
