2 ἐπίορκος
ἐπίορκος, - ονOrigin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: As the verb ἐπιορκέω `braek an oath' is frwquent, it is obvious, to consider with Strömberg Prefix Studies 86ff. much rarer ἐπίορκος `braeking the oath' as a backformation from the verb. ἐπιορκέω comes directly from ὅρκος with ἐπι- like ἐπιθυμέω from θυμός, ἐπιχειρέω from χείρ etc.; ἐπιορκέω then is prop. `acte against the oeath' (opposie εὑορκέω `keep the oath' from εὔορκος [since Hes.]); on the maintenance of the - ι- Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 237. - Diff. Leumann Hom. Wörter 79ff. (with discussion): the expression ἐπίορκον ὀμόσσαι `perjure oneself' (from where ἐπιορκέω) would be due to a false analysis of ep. ἐπὶ ὅρκον ὀμόσσαι `make an oathe on it'; against this view W. Luther Weltansicht und Geistesleben (Göttingen 1954) 86ff. with another explanation; s. alsi Fraenkel Gnomon 23, 373 and Bolling AmJPh 76, 306ff., who with Schwyzer IF 45, 255 start from (ὁ) ἐπὶ ὅρκῳ ( βάς). Leumann 88 too is inclined to see ἐπίορκος as a backformation from ἐπιορκέω.See also: s. ὅρκοςPage in Frisk: 1,538-539Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἐπίορκος
