κόρος

Strong’s: G2884

Associated OET lemmas: κόρος

Notes: Though in the Greek text of OET LUK 16:7 the number of cors is given as a hundred, it may not be particularly important to preserve the numeral as in the previous item (OET LUK 16:6 in 81.20: βάτος), for at least in English the expression ‘a thousand’ may have a similar symbolic significance of a huge amount.
