(μηδε γογγυζετε). Implying that some of them were murmuring. For this late picturesque onomatopoetic verb see on Matthew 20:11. The reference seems to be to Numbers 16:41 after the punishment of Korah.By the destroyer

(υπο του ολοθρευτου). This word, from ολοθρευω (late verb from ολεθρος, destruction) occurs only here, so far as known. The reference is to the destroying angel of Exodus 12:23 (ο ολοθρευων).
