ὑποζύγια, ὑποζύγιον, equivalent to ὑπό ζυγόν ὤν, under the yoke; neuter τό ὑποζύγιον as a substantive, a beast of burden (so from Theognis, and Herodotus down); in Biblical Greek (since the ass was the common animal used by the Orientals on journeys and for carrying burdens (cf. B. D. under the word, Ass, 1)) specifically, an ass: Mt 21:5 (Zech 9:9); 2 Pet 2:16; the Sept. for חֲמור, an ass.
