Headword: *mu/ron e)pi\ kefalh=s
Adler number: mu,1450
Translated headword: sweet oil on the head
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The high-priestly oil was compounded of aromatics; but that [oil] did not emit any such good aroma of itself. The mixture and compound of all made the greatest possible good aroma. To this he has compared the harmony of brothers; for the joint contribution of more righteous deeds creates the good order[1] of perfect virtue.

Notes:
Theodoret (PG 80.1912ab) on Psalm 132.2 LXX.
On muron see already mu 1449, and again mu 1452.
[1] Theodoret uses the word eu)kosmi/a "good order," echoing the earlier eu)osmi/a "good aroma."
