σπιλάδες

σπιλάς

rock over which the sea dashes: fem nom /voc pl

σπιλάς, άδος, ἡ used metaph. in Jd 12. The interpretation depends on which of two possible mngs. is preferred:

① (s. DELG 1 σπίλο) a rocky hazard hidden by waves, a rock washed by the sea, a (hidden) reef (Hom. et al.; Nicander, Alex. 290; Philostrat., Imag. 2, 13 p. 359, 19; Sb 6160, 1; Jos., Bell. 3, 420). Acc. to the Etymol. Magnum it is characteristic of the σπιλάδες that they cannot be seen, and hence a ship can be wrecked on them before any danger is suspected (αἱ ὑπὸ θάλασσαν κεκρυμμέναι πέτραι; Diod S 3, 44, 4 σπιλάδας ἐνθαλάττους). This type of interpr. is preferred by deWette, Mayor, Wordsworth, Chase, Weymouth, and conditionally by HvSoden, Windisch, REB ‘danger’, NRSV (mg. ‘reefs’). In its favor is the sequence of unfavorable natural phenomena.

② (s. DELG 2 σπίλο) that which soils or discolors, spot, stain (Orpheus, Lithica 614 GHermann=620 Ch-ÉRuelle [1898]: the agate is said to be κατάστικτος σπιλάδεσσι=‘sprinkled w. spots’. Hesychius explains σπιλάδες in our pass. w. μεμιασμένοι. S. also the par. 2 Pt 2:13 s.v. σπίλος and B-D-F §45; Mlt-H. 360f) so Spitta et al., L-S-J-M., NRSV (text ‘blemishes’), and conditionally HvSoden, Windisch, et al.—AKnox, Σπιλάδες: JTS 14, 1913, 547–49; 16, 1915, 78 (dirty, foul wind); HJones, ibid. 23, 1922, 282f.—M-M.
