(Mr 12:1). The original word (hypolenion) so rendered occurs only here in the New Testament. It properly denotes the trough or lake (lacus), as it was called by the Romans, into which the juice of the grapes ran from the trough above it. It is here used, however, of the whole apparatus. In the parallel passage in Mt 21:33 the Greek word lenos is used. This properly denotes the upper one of the two vats. (See Wine-press.)
