         DefinitionShort: a relatively large basket used primarily for food or produce{N:001}

         Glosses: large basket

         Comments: Translators often find it difficult to obtain satisfactory equivalents of {L:σπυρίς} ({D:6.149}) and κόφινος, since in various receptor languages there are highly specific terms for particular kinds of baskets depending upon type of construction and size. Unfortunately, there is no way of determining from the Greek text precisely the size or type of baskets involved in references to {L:σπυρίς} and κόφινος.
