ὦ interjection (Hom.+)

① marker of personal address O, O … ! (oft. before the voc., in accord w. the Koine and w. Semitic usage, but never used when calling upon God. See B-D-F §146; Rob. 463f; Mlt-Turner 33).

ⓑ without emotion (in accord w. Attic usage, also EpArist 1; 120; Ar. 2, 1; Just., A II, 1, 1; Mel., P. 32, 216; Tat. 14, 1) ὦ Θεόφιλε Ac 1:1. Cp. 18:14; 27:21.

② an exclamatory utterance, O, Oh, How … ! etc. (in this use it can also be written ὤ). In modern versions the term is frequently rendered in some functional equivalent, e.g. ‘I stand amazed at’ (so Phillips: Ro 11:33), or w. the punctuation mark (!) serving as a semantic component.

ⓐ w. the nom. (Aeschyl. et al.; Chariton 6, 6, 4; Is 6:5; TestAbr A 7 p. 84, 26 [Stone, p. 16] ὦ θαῦμα) ὦ βάθος πλούτου Ro 11:33.

μέσος, η, ον (Hom.+). The distinction between ‘middle’ and ‘among’ for μ. is sometimes rather fluid, and some of the passages here cited may fit equally well under 1 or 2.
