gomos denotes a load of goods being unloaded, bought, or listed for trade.

The attested use concerns a load of goods: a ship unloads it at Tyre, while traders mourn because it is no longer bought and its contents are enumerated.

Senses in use

  1. Load of goods in transport or trade · dominant

    The accusative singular form occurs where a boat is unloading at Tyre in Acts 21:3, where traders mourn that no one buys the goods in Revelation 18:11, and before an inventory of valuable materials in Revelation 18:12. In Acts 21:3 the APB renders the clause "the boat was unloading its cargo there"; in Revelation 18:11 it renders that no one buys their cargo, and Revelation 18:12 introduces a list of materials.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "cargo" in Acts 21:3 and Revelation 18:11, then begins a material inventory with "Cargo of" in Revelation 18:12. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate each lexical contribution.
