βουνοῦ, ὁ, a Cyrenaic word according to Herodotus 4, 199, which Eustathius (831, 33) on Iliad 11, 710 says was used by Philemon (No theta 1), a comic poet (of the 3rd century B.C.). It was rejected by the Atticists, but from Polybius on (who (5, 22, 1f) uses it interchangeably with λόφος) it was occasionally received by the later Greek writings. (Strabo, Pausanias, Plutarch, others); in the Sept. very often for גִּבְעָה; (perhaps from ΒΑΩ to ascend (cf. Hesychius βουνοί. βωμοί, and βωμιδες in Herodotus 2, 125 (Schmidt, chapter 99, 11))); a hill, eminence, mound: Lk 3:5 (Isa 40:4); (Hos 10:8). Cf. Sturz, De dial.
