σφρηγίς

     σφρηγίς

    - ῖδος ἥ ион. = σφραγίς См. σφραγις

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `seal, seal of a state, impression of a seal, signet, seal-ring, cut stone' (IA.), `sealed field-plot' (pap.). -- Extensively on the meaning of σφραγίς J. Diehl Sphragis. Eine semasiologische Nachlese. Diss. Gießen 1938 (w. lit.); also Kenna JHSt.81, 99ff., Kranz RhM 104, 3ff., 97f.

Derivatives: Dimin. σφραγίδιον n. (Ar., Thphr., inscr.). Denom. verb σφραγ-ίζω, - ίζομαι, often w. prefix, e.g. ἐπι-, κατα-, συν-, `to provide with a seal, to seal, to signet, to stamp, to confirm' (IA.) with - ισμα ( ἀντι-, ἀπο-, ἐκ-) n. `impression of a seal, sealed document' (E., X., hell. a. late); - ισμός ( ἐπι-, παρα-, περι-) m. `sealing, confirmation' (hell. a. late); ἐν-, ἐπι-σφράγ-ισις m. `sealing' (late); - ιστήριον n. `seal, stamp' (pap.); - ιστής ( ἐπι-, ἀπο-) m. `sealer, witness' (Plu., Luc., pap. a.o.). -- Besides Σφραγίδιον name of a cave ( ἄντρον) of prophesying nymphs on the Kithairon (Paus. 9, 3, 5); there the νύμφαι Σφραγίτιδες Plu. Arist. 11).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (S).

Etymology: Formation like κληΐς, κνημίς a.o.; so prob. a secondary deriv. Not certainly explained. For the Σφραγίτιδες νύμφαι Lobeck Paralip. 51 n. 59 assumes attractively connection with σφαραγέομαι referring to the rustling of the sourced ( ἐρι-σφάραγος a.o. of Poseidon; on σφαραγ-: σφρᾶγ- cf. e.g. ταραχ-ή: τρᾶχ-ύς, τέτρηχα). For σφραγίς a similar connection with help of Lith. spróga `crevice' (spróg-ti `explode, burst') was suggested by Prellwitz s.v. and Diehl op. cit. 1 f. (from the bursting of the seal(mass) when pressed in). Also Schwyzer 465 connects σφραγίς wit σφαραγέομαι, but referring to Lat. bulla. One might then consider, whether σφραγίς owes its name to the burning and the accompanying sound; cf. on the one hand Russ. pečátь `seal' as `instrument to brand in signs' (to pekú `bake'), on the other hand the expression σφαραγεῦντο `crackling, hissing' (ι 390) of the eye-roots of he Cyclops when the burning hot wood was pressed in. -- Furnée 324 n 7 takes the word as Pre-Greek for its suffix (-ῑδ).

① the instrument used for sealing or stamping, signet (Aristot., Strabo et al., Appian, Liby. 32 §137; 104 §493, Bell. Civ. 2, 22 §82; pap, LXX; Hippol., Ref. 9, 11, 5) σφραγὶς θεοῦ Rv 7:2 (against power of demons, etc. RCharles, Comm. I 196).

② the substance which bears the imprint of a signet and seals a document, seal (ParJer 3:10) GPt 8:33; 1 Cl 43:5. In Rv a book w. seven seals 5:1 (a last will and testament acc. to EHuschke, Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln 1860, Zahn, JWeiss; cp.

God’s foundation that bears the following mark (= inscription) … 2 Ti 2:19 (s. Dölger, Sphragis 3; Straub 63).—Cp. Hs 8, 2, 4, prob. of a document bearing a mark that permits passage, a pass (cp.

④ that which confirms or authenticates, attestation, confirmation, certification, fig. ext. of 3

ⓐ w. the gen. of that which is confirmed or authenticated ἡ σφραγίς μου τῆς ἀποστολῆς ὑμεῖς ἐστε you are the certification of my apostleship 1 Cor 9:2. σημεῖον ἔλαβεν περιτομῆς σφραγῖδα τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῆς πίστεως he (Abraham) received the sign of circumcision as something that confirms the righteousness through faith that was already present Ro 4:11. σφ. need be no more than a metaphor for attestation or confirmation in περιτέτμηται ὁ λαὸς εἰς σφραγῖδα B 9:6.

ⓑ as a term for baptism in 2 Cl and Hermas (Theognis ln. 19: the author’s name, as a σφρηγίς [Ionic form], ensures his work against all possibility of falsification): ἡ σφραγίς 2 Cl 7:6; 8:6; Hs 8, 6, 3; 9, 16, 3ff al. ἡ σφ. τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ Hs 9, 16, 3 (also AcThom 131 [Aa II/2, 239, 3; s.
