ἄγριος -α,
-ον, (
ἀγρός) [from Homer down];
1. living or
growing in the fields or
the woods, used of animals in a state of nature, and of plants which grow without culture:
μέλι ἄγριον wild honey, either that which is deposited by bees in hollow trees, clefts of rocks, on the bare ground (
1 Samuel 14:25 [cf.
1 Samuel 14:26]), etc., or more correctly that which distils from certain trees, and is gathered when it has become hard (Diodorus Siculus 19, 94 at the end, speaking of the Nabathaean Arabians says
φύεται παῤ αὐτοῖς μέλι πολὺ τὸ καλούμενον ἄγριον,
ᾧ χρῶνται ποτῷ μεθ’ ὕδατος; cf. Suidas and especially Suicer under the word
ἀκρίς):

Mark 1:6.
2. fierce, untamed:
κύματα θαλάσσης,
