New Testament, Epistle to the Hebrews 9:13:
εἰ γὰρ τὸ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων, καὶ σποδὸς δαμάλεως ῥαντίζουσα τοὺς κεκοινωμένους, ἁγιάζει πρὸς τὴν τῆς σαρκὸς καθαρότητα,
ei gàr tò haîma taúrōn kaì trágōn, kaì spodòs damáleōs rhantízousa toùs kekoinōménous, hagiázei pròs tḕn tês sarkòs katharótēta,
- Translation by KJV
  For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

(heifer): μόσχος (móskhos), δαμάλη (damálē), πόρτις (pórtis), πόρις (póris)
(girl): παῖς (paîs), κόρη (kórē), παρθένος (parthénos), νεᾶνις (neânis), μεῖραξ (meîrax), μειρακίσκη (meirakískē)
