STRONGS G3953:
παροψίς,
παροψίδος,
ἡ (
παρά (which see IV. 1), and
ὄψον, on which see
ὀψάριον);
1. "a side-dish, a dish of dainties or choice food suited not so much to satisfy as to gratify the appetite; a side-accompaniment of the more solid food"; hence, equivalent to
παροψημα; so in
Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 4 and many Attic writings in
Athen. 9, p. 367 d. following
2. the dish itself in which the delicacies are served up:
Matthew 23:25,
26 (here
T omits;
WH brackets
παροψίδος);
Artemidorus Daldianus, oneir. 1, 74;
Alciphron 3, 20;
Plutarch, de vitand. aere alien. § 2. This latter use of the word is condemned by the Atticists; cf. Sturz, Lex.
Xenophon, iii., 463f;
Lob. ad Phryn., p. 176; (Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 265f); Poppo on
Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 4.
