παιδάριον

G. Abbott-Smith's A Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament

παιδάριον, -ου, τό, dimin. of παῖς,

[in LXX chiefly for נַעַר;]

a little boy, a lad (in late and colloq. Gk. the word seems to be used with greater latitude and even to lose its dimin. force entirely; cf. To 6:2, 3, and v. MM, xviii): Jo 6:9.†

SYN.: v.s. παῖς.
