Noun

IPA: /má.ɡa.dis/, /ˈma.ɣa.ðis/, /ˈma.ɣa.ðis/, /má.ɡa.dis/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈma.ɡa.dis/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈma.ɣa.ðis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈma.ɣa.ðis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈma.ɣa.ðis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Probably from Lydian, while others have proposed a Semitic origin. Furnée compares the word with πηκτίς (pēktís, “Lydian stringed instrument”) and reconstructs a pre-form *μάγδις (*mágdis).
