Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `examine, test' (Hdt. 3, 62 v. l., Democr. 266, Pl. Kra. 410d, LXX),

Other forms: Aor. ἐτάσαι

Compounds: mostly ἐξ-ετάζω, aor. ἐξετάσαι, - άξαι (Theoc.) etc. `find out, inquire exactly' (Ion.-Att.); also with prefix, e. g. ἐπ-, συν-, προ-εξετάζω; Arc. παρ-hετάζω in παρ-hεταξάμενος, παρ-ετάξωνσι `have approved' (Tegea IV^a; unless from παρ-ίημι `approve', πάρ-ετος).

Derivatives: ἔτασις, ἐτασμός `proof, test' (LXX), ἐταστής = ἐξετ. (Lampsakos). - ἐξέτασις `enquiry, test' (Att.), - σία `id.' (Astypalaea, Rom. times; cf. Schwyzer 469), ἐξετασμός `id.'

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [??] * set- `be stable'

Etymology: Denomin. of ἐτός, only found in ἐτά ἀληθῆ, ἀγαθά H.; so prop. `verify, check the truth'. - Not certainly explained. Usually ἐτός is considered a verbal adjective of εἰμί `to be' (Schwyzer 502); ἐτός for *ἑτός (IE *s-e-tó-s), so like Germ., e. g. ONo. sannr (PGm. *sánÞa-), Skt. satyá- `true' (IE *s-ón-t-o-, resp. *s-n̥-t-i̯ó-) `existing, real'?; but this would be * h₁s-nt- or * h₁s-eto-, which would result in different forms; against it Luther "Wahrheit" und "Lüge" 51. De Lamberterie ( RPh 71 (1997)160, following Pinault, assumes a stem * set-u-; see on ἐτεός and ὅσιος.

As 2. member e.g. ἰδιό-στολος `having one's own equipment, equipped at one's own expense, making one's own journey' (Plu. a.o.), πυγο-στόλος adjunct of γυνή (Hes. Op. 373; on the debated meaning Martinazzoli Par. del Pass. 15, 203ff.); ναυ-στολ-έω `to send on a ship, to navigate, to steer (a ship)' (Pi., S., E., late prose; ναύ-στολος only A. Th. 858 [lyr.; doubted]; cf. ναυ-μαχέω, οἰνο-χοέω a.o. in Schwyzer 726); ἀκρο-στόλ-ιον n. `decorated end of the rostrum' (Callix., Str., D.S. etc.); ἀπόστολ-ος (: ἀπο-στέλλω) m. `envoys, fleet-expedition' (IA.), `apostle' (LXX, NT).

Schwyzer 672). -- 3. στολμός m. `equipment, clothing' (A., E.). -- B. στέλμα στέφος, στέμμα H. (correct?); στελμονίαι ζώματα H. (= X.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [1019] * stel- `put (up), stand'; also [985] * spel- `split'?

Etymology: The above forms form in spite of all semantic differentiation a well kept together formal system. Outside the wide semantic cadre are, however, στόλος in the sense of `ships beak a.o.', a meaning which seems difficult to connect with στέλλω `prepare, equip, send out', but which can without difficulty be connected with στελεά, στέλεχος, στήλη [which in my view do not belong to στέλλω]. When judging the etymology some seemingly Aeolic, mostly only lexically attested forms with σπ- (against inscr. ἀπο-, ἐπι-στέλλαι) must not be overlooked: σπελλάμεναι στειλάμεναι, σπολεῖσα σταλεῖσα, εὔσπολον εὑεί-μονα, εὑσταλέα, κασπέλλει (cod. - έλη) στορνύει (all H.); σπόλα = στολή (Sapph.), κασπολέω (- σπελ-?) ὑποστορέσω (Sapph., H.). So ΙΑ. στελ-, Aeol. σπελ- from IE skʷel- (lit. in Persson Beitr. 1, 422)? After Bechtel Dial. 1, 125f. (with Schulze; cf. on this Hamm Grammatik 15 w. n. 3) in IA. στέλλω IE * stel- `send' and skʷel- `equip' (from where Aeol. σπελ-) would have fallen together. The difficulty to find IE * skʷel- back in other languages, as well as the meagre documentation of the σπ-forms both arouse suspicion against such a supposition. For some of the relevant words ( σπόλα, εὔσπολος) one might sonsider a connection with IE * spel- `split' (s. σπολάς). -- Exact cognates outside Greek are missing. Nearest comes Arm. steɫc-anem, aor. steɫc-i `prepare, creare' with unclear c (ɫc from l + s with Pedersen KZ 39, 427 ?); beside it steɫn, pl. steɫun-k` `stem, stalk, twig' (cf. στέλεχος, στελεά). Also several other words go back on IE * stel-, but deviate semantically from στέλλω: Alb. shtiell `wind up, reel up, collect' (IE * stel-n-ō); Germ. nouns as OE stela m. `stalk of a plant', OWNo. stiolr m. `tail-bone', NNorw. stjøl `stalk, stem' (\< * stelu-; cf. στελεχος, στελεά).

⑧ The predicate nom. and the predicate acc. are somet. replaced by εἰς w. acc. under Semitic influence, which has strengthened Gk. tendencies in the same direction:

ⓐ predicate nom.

α. w. γίνεσθαι (PFay 119, 34 [100 A.D.] ἵνα μὴ εἰς ψωμίον γένηται; Wsd 14:11; 1 Macc 1:36; 10:70; Jdth 5:10, 18 al.) Mt 21:42 (Ps 117:22). ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον Lk 13:19; cp. J 16:20; Ac 5:36; Rv 8:11; 16:19.

β. w. εἶναι (Bar 2:23; Jdth 5:21, 24; Sir 31:10 et al.) Mt 19:5 (Gen 2:24); Lk 3:5 (Is 40:4); 2 Cor 6:18; Hb 1:5; 8:10 (in the last 3 pass. OT expressions are also reproduced). Not fr. the OT: 1J 5:8.

Sim. ὕπαγε εἰς εἰρήνην (1 Km 1:17) Mk 5:34; Lk 7:50; 8:48 (=ἐν εἰρήνῃ). Mlt-Turner 254f.

⑩ Other uses of εἰς

ⓐ at, in the face of μετανοεῖν εἰς τὸ κήρυγμα repent at the proclamation Mt 12:41; Lk 11:32; cp. Ro 4:20 and perh. Mt 3:11. JMantey, JBL 70, ’51, 45–48, 309–11 argues for a causal use here because of the proclam., with reff.; against him RMarcus, ibid. 129f; 71, ’52, 43f; JDavis, Restoration Qtrly 24, ’81, 80–88.

ⓑ for βαπτίζω εἰς s. βαπτίζω 2c.

θυσιαστήριον, ου, τό (s. prec. entry; LXX; pseudepigr; Philo, Mos. 2, 105; Jos., Ant. 8, 88; 105; Just., D. 118, 2; gener. ‘altar’)

① a structure on which cultic observances are carried out, including esp. sacrifices, altar

ⓐ of the altar of burnt offering in the inner forecourt of the temple at Jerusalem (s. Schürer II 298f) Mt 5:23f; 23:18–20, 35; Lk 11:51; Hb 7:13; Rv 11:1; 1 Cl 41:2; B 7:9 (cp. Lev 16:7–9, 18). λειτουργεῖν τῷ θ. serve at the altar 1 Cl 32:2; παρεδρεύειν τῷ θ. (s. παρεδρεύω) 1 Cor 9:13a; συμμερίζεσθαι τῷ θ. (s. συμμερίζω) vs. 13b; κοινωνοὶ τοῦ θ. partners, sharers in the altar=closely united w. the altar (=w. God; s. 10:20) 10:18 (s. κοινωνός 1bα; but s. GJourdan, JBL 67, ’48, 122f). Mt 23:35 and therefore prob. also GJs 5:1; 7:3; 8:2; 23:1; 24:2.

ⓑ of the incense altar

α. in the temple at Jerusalem τὸ θ. τοῦ θυμιάματος (Ex 30:1, 27) Lk 1:11.

β. the heavenly altar of Rv also seems to be thought of as an incense altar: 6:9; 8:3, 5; 9:13; 14:18; 16:7. Hermas also speaks of a θ. τοῦ θεοῦ in heaven Hm 10, 3, 2f; Hs 8, 2, 5.

ⓒ of an altar gener.: the one erected by Abraham (Gen 22:9) Js 2:21; B 7:3. Pl. Ro 11:3 (3 Km 19:10).

ⓓ various other referents, esp. fig. extensions of those above

α. IRo 2:2 Ign. speaks of the altar that is ready to receive his death as a martyr.

β. Pol 4:3 the Christian widows are called a θυσιαστήριον θεοῦ, since they are to bring to God none but perfect gifts (cp. Sextus 46b, the pure heart as a θ. for God).

γ. The pass. ἔχομεν θ. ἐξ οὗ φαγεῖν οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν οἱ τῇ σκηνῇ λατρεύοντες we have an altar, from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat Hb 13:10 is difficult. Scholars such as FBleek, ASeeberg and BHaensler, BZ 11, 1913, 403–9, interpret the θ. as the cross of Christ, others (e.g. THaering, Der Brief an die Hebr. 1925, 103) as the communion table. HWindisch rejects both these interpr. BWeiss and ERiggenbach^{2, 3} 1922 give up the attempt to understand it. S. also JCreed, ET 50, ’38, 13–15; JWilson, ibid. 380f; JOulton, ibid. 55, ’44, 303–5.—προσέρχεσθαι ἐν τῷ θ. λειτουργεῖν τὸ θεῖον Tit 1:9 v.l. is also to be interpr. fr. the viewpoint of Christian institutions.

② the people of God as cultic entity, sanctuary, in imagery ἐντὸς (τοῦ) θ. εἶναι be inside the sanctuary (θ. in this mng. perh. also Rv 14:18 and Procop., Aed. 1, 65; ins Ἀρχαιολογικὸν Δελτίον 12, 1927, 69), i.e. the Christian community or church, under the care and control of its constituted authorities IEph 5:2; ITr 7:2 (opp. ἐκτὸς θ.). This is in accord w. Ignatius’ emphatic assertion that there is only one θ. IMg 7:2; IPhld 4.—B. 1467. DELG s.v. 2 θύω B6. EDNT. TW.

κεῖμαι impf. 3 sg. ἔκειτο; fut. 3 pl. κείσονται (Tat. 31, 1) (Hom.+)

① to be in a recumbent position, lie, recline; can serve as passive of τίθημι, of pers.: w. indication of place ἔν τινι in someth., of a child ἐν φάτνῃ Lk 2:12, 16; of a dead person (Hom. et al.; also in Palest. [PhilolWoch 49, 1929, 247] and Alexandrian [Sb 1397] grave ins; PRyl 114, 17 τοῦ σώματος κειμένου) w. οὗ or ὅπου (ApcMos 33; PGM 4, 2038) Mt 28:6; Lk 23:53; J 20:12.

Rv 4:2; Hv 3, 1, 4. Of cloths lie (there) Lk 24:12 v.l.; J 20:5, 6, 7.—21:9. Of vessels stand (there) (X., Oec. 8, 19; Paus. 9, 31, 3 τρίποδες; cp. 1 Esdr 6:25; Jer 24:1) 2:6; 19:29. σκάφην GJs 18:2 (codd.). Of goods be laid up, be stored up Lk 12:19 (Hom. et al.; cp. PSI 365, 20 [251/250 B.C.] ὁ σῖτος ἐπὶ τῆς ἅλω κείμενος).—Of a foundation be laid 1 Cor 3:11. ἡ πόλις τετράγωνος κεῖται is laid out as a square Rv 21:16. κ. πρός τι be laid at someth. the ax at the roots (ready for felling of the tree) Mt 3:10; Lk 3:9. κ. πρός w. acc. also means be very close to someone in ὁ ἄγγελος τ. πνεύματος τοῦ προφητικοῦ ὁ κείμενος πρὸς αὐτόν (i.e. τ. ἄνθρωπον) Hm 11:9 (Ox 5 recto, 3 reads: ἐπʼ αὐτῷ).

③ In a variety of transferred senses involving esp. abstractions to exist, have place, or be there (for someth.)

ⓐ be appointed, set, destined εἴς τι for someth. εἰς πτῶσιν καὶ ἀνάστασιν for the fall and rising Lk 2:34. εἰς ἀπολογίαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Phil 1:16. εἰς τοῦτο 1 Th 3:3.—κ. ἐπί τινος be put in charge of someth. of the angel of punishment ἐπὶ τῆς τιμωρίας in charge of the punishment Hs 6, 3, 2.

ξηραίνω (ξηρός) fut. ξηρανῶ LXX; 1 aor. ἐξήρανα. Pass.: fut. 3 sg. ξηρανθήσεται LXX; 1 aor. ἐξηράνθην; pf. ἐξήραμμαι, ptc. ἐξηραμμένος (Hom. et al.; pap, LXX, En, TestSol; TestLevi 4:1; ParJer 19:17; 4 Esdr 8:23 [Fgm. c]; Joseph.)

① to stop a flow (such as sap or other liquid) in someth. and so cause dryness, to dry, dry up

ⓐ act. dry, dry out τὶ someth. (Thu. 1, 109, 4; schol. on Nicander, Ther. 831 ξηραίνει τὸ δένδρον; PGM 13, 27 ξήρανον [viz. τὰ ἄνθη]; Is 42:15; Jer 28:36; Just., D. 107, 3) of the sun τὸν χόρτον Js 1:11.

ⓑ pass. in act. sense become dry, dry up, wither of trees (POxy 53, 10; Jo 1:12) Mt 21:19f; Mk 11:20f. Of plants without good roots Mt 13:6; Mk 4:6; Lk 8:6.—1 Pt 1:24 (Is 40:7). A vine-branch when cut off J 15:6. Gener. of plants Hs 9, 21, 1; 3. Of water (Gen 8:7; 3 Km 17:7; Is 19:5f ποταμός; En 101:7; Jos., Bell. 5, 409 πηγή; TestLevi 4:1) of a river: dry up Rv 16:12. Of a flow of blood εὐθὺς ἐξηράνθη ἡ πηγὴ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς her hemorrhage stopped at once Mk 5:29.

② to become dry to the point of being immobilized, be paralyzed, pass. in act. sense, fig. ext. of 1. As plants are killed by drought, so the human body is damaged by certain harmful things (Hippocr., π. τῶν ἐντὸς παθῶν 22 vol. VII 222 L.—PUps 8, 4 καταξηρανθήτω τὸ σῶμα ἐν κλίνοις=may her body dry up on the sickbed) ἄνθρωπος ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τ. χεῖρα a man with a withered hand (i.e., one incapable of motion; cp. 3 Km 13:4) Mk 3:1, 3 v.l. Likew. the whole body of a boy who was possessed stiffens ξηραίνεται he becomes stiff 9:18 (Theocr. 24, 61 ξηρὸν ὑπαὶ δείους=stiff with fright. Similarly Psellus p. 212, 6).

① to make a request, ask for, request (for oneself).

ⓐ to ask for someth. in behalf of another intercede for τινά someone (Polyb. 4, 51, 1; Plut., Demetr. 893a [9, 8], Thes. 8 [19, 9]. Cp. BGU 625, 7) δέσμιον Mk 15:6 (Appian, Bell. Civ. 2, 24 §91 Σκαῦρον τοῦ πλήθους παραιτουμένου=the crowd interceded for Scaurus).

ⓑ foll. by inf. w. the neg. μή (Thu. 5, 63, 3; s. B-D-F §429; Rob. 1094) παρῃτήσαντο μὴ προστεθῆναι αὐτοῖς λόγον they begged that no further message be given them Hb 12:19 (the v.l. lacks μή). Although the net effect is a refusal, the focus of π. is on the request, which is not the case in 2, below.

② to avert someth. by request or entreaty

ⓐ If π. is used in connection w. an invitation, it becomes a euphemism in the sense excuse (Polyb. 5, 27, 3) pass. ἔχε με παρῃτημένον consider me excused (s. ἔχω 6) Lk 14:18b, 19; as a reflexive excuse oneself (Jos., Ant. 7, 175; 12, 197) vs. 18a (for the various excuses used for declining an invitation, s. Aristot., Fgm. 554 [VRose 1886]=Paus. Att., τ. 37:1: my wife is sick; 2: the ship is not ready to sail).

ⓑ decline, refuse, avoid, reject (CMRDM I, 164, 16f a wrestler is declared the victor when his opponents decline to engage him upon seeing his unclothed physique; Diod S 13, 80, 2 abs.)

α. w. acc. of pers. reject, refuse someone or refuse to do someth. to someone (EpArist 184; Philo, Det. Pot. Ins. 38; Jos., Ant. 7, 167) Hb 12:25ab (to hear someone). νεωτέρας χήρας παραιτοῦ refuse (to enroll) widows who are younger (than 60 years of age), when they apply for help 1 Ti 5:11. αἱρετικὸν ἄνθρωπον παραιτοῦ Tit 3:10; but here the word prob. has the sense discharge, dismiss, drive out (cp. Diog. L. 6, 82 οἰκέτην; Plut., Mor. 206a γυναῖκα).

β. w. acc. of thing reject, avoid (Pind., Nem. 10, 30 χάριν; Epict. 2, 16, 42; PLond 1231, 3 [II A.D.]; Philo, Poster. Cai. 2 τὴν Ἐπικούρειον ἀσέβειαν; Jos., Ant. 3, 212; 5, 237) Dg 4:2; 6:10. γραώδεις μύθους παραιτοῦ 1 Ti 4:7. ζητήσεις παραιτοῦ 2 Ti 2:23 (cp. Herm. Wr. in Stob. I 277, 21 W.= p. 432, 20 Sc. τὰς πρὸς τοὺς πολλοὺς ὁμιλίας παραιτοῦ).—οὐ παραιτοῦμαι τὸ ἀποθανεῖν I am not trying to escape death Ac 25:11 (cp. Jos., Vi. 141).—New Docs 3, 78. DELG s.v. αἰτέω. M-M. TW.

ἀπόστολος, ου, ὁ (s. ἀποστέλλω). In older Gk. (Lysias, Demosth.) and later (e.g. Posidon.: 87 Fgm. 53 p. 257, 21 Jac. [Strabo 3, 5, 5]) ὁ ἀ. is a naval expedition, prob. also its commander (Anecd. Gr. 217, 26). τὸ ἀπόστολον with (Pla., Ep. 7, 346a) or without (Vi. Hom. 19) πλοῖον means a ship ready for departure. In its single occurrence in Jos. (Ant. 17, 300; it is not found elsewh. in Jewish-Gk. lit.) it prob. means ‘sending out’; in pap mostly ‘bill of lading’ (s. Preisigke, Fachwörter 1915), less freq. ‘certificate of clearance (at a port)’ (BGU V §64 [II A.D.]=Gnomon des Idios Logos). It can also be ‘letter of authorization (relating to shipping)’: Mitt-Wilck. I/2, 443, 10 (15 A.D.); PHerm 6, 11f (cp. Dig. 49, 6, 1 litteras dimissorias sive apostolos).
