ὑποζυγίου
hypozýgion
Domesticated working animal, usually referring to a beast of burden harnessed for pulling (typically under a yoke); in most contexts, denotes a donkey but may encompass other draft animals placed beneath a yoke for agricultural or transport purposes. The term emphasizes the function or status of the animal as a work-beast rather than specifying species, though donkey is often the referent in the eastern Mediterranean context.
