It is a diminutive form, indicating a smaller or more portable version of a larger tablet.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, writing tablets were common tools for communication and record-keeping. They were often made of wood and coated with wax, allowing for easy writing and erasing. These tablets were used by students, merchants, and officials for various purposes, including education, commerce, and administration. The use of such tablets reflects the practical aspects of daily life in ancient times, where written communication was essential for both personal and official matters.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>dim. of <a href="/greek/4094.htm">pinax</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a writing tablet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tablet (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4093: πινακίδιον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πινακίδιον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πινακιδιου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (diminutive of <span class="greek2">πινακίς</span>, <span class="greek2">πινακιδος</span>) (<span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, others);
