         Comments: In the NT πυγμή occurs only in this very problematic expression in {S:04100700300020}. Some manuscripts omit πυγμῇ, while others read πυκνά ‘often.’ A number of translators have attempted to solve the interpretative problem in {S:04100700300020} by translating ‘unless they wash in the proper manner’ or ‘… thoroughly.’
