Choenix (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

kē´niks ( χοῖνιξ , choı́nix ): A G reek dry measure, almost equal to one quart. Mentioned in the New Testament only in Revelation 6:6 , where the Revised Version, margin would read "choenix" instead of the indefinite translation "measure." The verse is then obviously a threat of famine.
