παροψίς

The Greek word παροψίς (paropsis) is a noun that is defined as a "dish." This term appears twice in the Bible. Given its definition, παροψίς is a specific type of vessel used for holding and serving food. Its usage suggests that it may have a particular shape or form, but the Bible does not provide further information on its characteristics. The limited occurrences of παροψίς in the Bible imply a relatively specialized use in ancient Greek culture, possibly indicating that it was a distinctive type of dish in everyday or ritual contexts.
