① one who is in charge by virtue of possession, owner (X., Symp. 6, 1; Diod S 4, 15, 3; 14, 7, 6; ins, pap, LXX) κ. πάντων Gal 4:1 (Diod S 33, 7, 1; Philostrat., Vi. Apoll. 1, 13 p. 12, 10 of one who has come of age and controls his own property).

SIG 742, 6 κ. τῆς χώρας) Mt 20:8; 21:40; Mk 12:9; Lk 20:13, 15; ὁ κ. τῆς οἰκίας the master of the house (Ex 22:7; SIG 1215, 28; PTebt 5, 147 [118 B.C.] τοὺς κ. τῶν οἰκιῶν) Mk 13:35. Of a πῶλος: οἱ κ. αὐτοῦ its owners (PHib 34, 3 a span of oxen; Ex 21:29 [αὐτοῦ=τοῦ ταύρου]) Lk 19:33 (ASouter, Exp. 8th ser., 8, 1914, 94f, in connection w. the pl. here and Ac 16:16, 19 thinks of the owners as man and wife; the pl. οἱ κύριοι has this mng. Diod S 34 + 35, Fgm. 2, 10 and 2, 37: a married couple who are slave-owners. On the other hand in the Syntipas collection of Aesop’s Fables 16 p. 534 P. οἱ κύριοι of a dog are a number of metalworkers. On Hebr. background for possible understanding of the pl. in the sing. sense ‘owner’, s. RButh, JBL 104, ’86, 680–85.). The mng. owner easily passes into that of lord, master, one who has full control of someth. (Diod S 5, 42, 5 θανάτου κύριοι=lords over [life and] death; 10, 17, 1 and 2 κ. τοῦ σώματος=master of one’s own body; Ptolem., Apotel. 3, 11, 10 ὁ κ. τῆς ζωῆς; PsSol 2:29 κ. γῆς καὶ θαλάσσης; Philo, Spec.

PFay 106, 15; 129, 1; 134, 2; BGU 648, 16) Mt 27:63. As a form of address to respected pers. gener.; here, as elsewhere, = our sir (as Mod. Gk.) Mt 25:11; J 12:21; 20:15 (but s.

β. Closely connected w. the custom of applying the term κ. to deities is that of honoring (deified) rulers with the same title (exx. [2bα beg.] in Ltzm., op. cit.; Bousset 93; Dssm., 299ff [LAE 356]; FKattenbusch, Das apostol. Symbol II 1900, 605ff; KPrümm, Herrscherkult u.

Cels. 8, 6, 12). Fr. the time of Claudius (POxy. 37, 6; O. Wilck II 1038, 6) we find the Rom. emperors so designated in increasing measure; in isolated cases, even earlier (OGI 606, 1; on Augustus’ attitude s. DioCass. 51, 7f).

S. esp. the collection of articles and reviews by various scholars, in Römischer Kaiserkult, ed. AWlosok ’78.

γ. κύριος is also used in ref. to Jesus:

א. in OT quotations, where it is understood of the Lord of the new community ἡ ὁδὸς κ. (Is 40:3) Mt 3:3; Mk 1:3; Lk 3:4; J 1:23. εἶπεν κύριος τ. κυρίῳ μου (Ps 109:1: the first κ. is God, the second Christ; s. Billerb. IV 452–65: Der 110. Ps. in d. altrabb. Lit.; βασιλεὺς αὐτῶν χριστὸς κ. [or κυρίου; s. 2bα] PsSol 17:32) Mt 22:44 (cp. vss. 43, 45); Mk 12:36 (cp. vs. 37); Lk 20:42 (cp. vs. 44); Ac 2:34. ὁ καυχώμενος ἐν κυρίῳ καυχάσθω 1 Cor 1:31 (cp. Jer 9:22f). τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου Ro 10:13 (cp. Jo 3:5). σὺ κατʼ ἀρχάς, κύριε, τὴν γῆν ἐθεμελίωσας Hb 1:10 (cp. Ps 101:26). εἰ ἐγεύσασθε ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ κύριος 1 Pt 2:3 (cp. Ps 33:9). 1 Pt 3:15 adds Χριστόν to κύριον ἁγιάσατε Is 8:13.

ב. Apart from OT quots., Mt and Mk speak of Jesus as κύριος only in one pass. (words of Jesus himself) Mk 11:3=Mt 21:3 (but s. RBratcher, ET 64, ’52/53, 93; New Docs 1, 43; JDerrett, NovT 13, ’71, 241–58 on the public transport system; cp. Lk 19:31, 34), but they record that he was addressed as ‘Lord’ (κύριε), once in Mk (7:28) and more oft. in Mt, e.g. 8:2, 6, 8, 21, 25; 9:28; 14:28, 30; 15:22, 25, 27; 16:22 (also ApcSed 12:2).—Lk refers to Jesus much more frequently as ὁ κ. (Iren. 1, prol. 2 [Harv. I 4, 5] and 5, 26, 2 [Harv. II 396, 2]): 7:13; 10:1, 39 (Ἰησοῦ P⁷⁵; τοῦ Ἰησοῦ P⁴⁵ et al.), 41; 11:39; 12:42a; 13:15; 17:5f; 18:6; 19:8 al. The voc. κύριε is also found oft.: 5:8, 12; 9:54, 61; 10:17, 40; 11:1; 12:41 al.—In J the designation ὁ κ. occurs rarely, in the first 19 chapters only in passages that are text-critically uncertain (4:1 v.l.; 6:23, with omission in some mss.) or that have been suspected on other grounds (11:2); then 20:2, 18, 20, 25; cp. vss. 13, 28; 21:7ab, 12. On the other hand, κύριε in address is extraordinarily common throughout the whole book: 4:11, 15, 19, 49; 5:7; 6:34, 68 al. (more than 30 times).—In the long ending of Mk we have the designation ὁ κ. twice, 16:19, 20. In GPt ὁ κ. occurs 1:2; 2:3ab; 3:6, 8; 4:10; 5:19; 6:21, 24; 12:50ab; 14:59, 60 (in the last pass. without the art.); the fragment that has been preserved hardly affords any opportunity for the use of the voc. 2 Cl introduces apocryphal sayings of Jesus with λέγει ὁ κ. 5:2; λ. ὁ κ. ἐν τ. εὐαγγελίῳ 8:5.—Repeated κύριε, κύριε Mt 7:21f; Lk 6:46; 2 Cl 4:2 (TestAbr A 9 p. 86, 26 [Stone p. 20]; ApcMos 25 p. 14, 1 Tdf.; s. KKöhler, StKr 88, 1915, 471–90).

ג. Even in the passages already mentioned the use of the word κ. raises Jesus above the human level (Mani is also κ. for his people: Kephal. I 183, 11; 13; 16); this tendency becomes even clearer in the following places: ὁ κύριος Ac 5:14; 9:10f, 42; 11:23f; 22:10b; Ro 12:11; 14:8; 1 Cor 6:13f, 17; 7:10, 12; 2 Cor 5:6, 8; Gal 1:19; Col 1:10; 1 Th 4:15b; 2 Th 3:1; Hb 2:3; Js 5:7f; B 5:5; IEph 10:3; AcPl Ha 6, 21; 7, 5; 27; 8, 2; AcPlCor 1:6, 14.—Without the art. 1 Cor 4:4; 7:22b; 10:21ab; 2 Cor 12:1; 1 Th 4:15a; 2 Ti 2:24; AcPlCor 1:8. So esp. in combinations w. preps.: ἀπὸ κυρίου Col 3:24. κατὰ κύριον 2 Cor 11:17. παρὰ κυρίου Eph 6:8. πρὸς κύριον 2 Cor 3:16; AcPl Ha 6, 9. πρὸς τὸν κ. 8, 23. σὺν κυρίῳ 1 Th 4:17b. ὑπὸ κυρίου 1 Cor 7:25b; 2 Th 2:13.

ב. in contrast to the one κύριος of the Christians there are θεοὶ πολλοὶ καὶ κύριοι πολλοί many gods and many lords 1 Cor 8:5 (cp. Dt 10:17); we cannot say just what difference, if any, Paul makes betw. these θεοί and κύριοι; unless we have here an hendiadys, the apostle may imply that the κ. are of lower rank than the θ. (sim.

περίψημα, ατος, τό (Vi. Aesopi G 35 P.; from περιψάω= ‘wipe all around, wipe clean’) that which is removed by the process of cleansing, dirt, off-scouring (Jer 22:28 Sym.) πάντων περίψημα the off-scouring of all things 1 Cor 4:13. But reflection on the fact that the removal of the περίψ. cleanses the thing or the pers. to which (whom) it was attached, has given the word the further mng. ransom, scapegoat, sacrifice (cp. Tob 5:19. Hesychius equates it w. περικατάμαγμα [cp. καταμάσσω ‘wipe off’] and ἀντίλυτρα, ἀντίψυχα. Photius p. 425, 3 explains περίψ. w. ἀπολύτρωσις and then continues, referring to the custom of making a human sacrifice every year for the benefit of the rest of the people [s. on this Ltzm. and JWeiss on 1 Cor 4:13]: οὕτως ἐπέλεγον τῷ κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐμβαλλομένῳ τῇ θαλάσσῃ νεανίᾳ ἐπʼ ἀπαλλαγῇ τῶν συνεχόντων κακῶν• περίψημα ἡμῶν γενοῦ• ἤτοι σωτηρία καὶ ἀπολύτρωσις. καὶ οὕτως ἐνέβαλον τῇ θαλάσσῃ ὡσανεὶ τῷ Ποσειδῶνι θυσίαν ἀποτιννύντες ‘in this wise they spoke over the young man who was being cast into the sea in accordance with annual custom for deliverance from afflictions: “Be our means of cleansing; in truth, our salvation and deliverance.” And so they cast him into the sea, a sacrificial payment in full, as it were, to Poseidon.’). But it must also be observed that περίψ. had become more and more a term of polite self-depreciation, common enough in everyday speech (Dionys. of Alex. in Eus., HE 7, 22, 7 τὸ δημῶδες ῥῆμα. S. also the grave-inscription [in WThieling, D. Hellenismus in Kleinafrika 1911, p. 34] in which a wife says w. reference to her deceased husband ἐγώ σου περίψημα τῆς καλῆς ψυχῆς); the sense would then be someth. like most humble servant.

① a structure or surface on which food or other things can be placed, table

ⓐ of a cultic object: the table of showbread (cp. 1 Macc 1:22 τρ. τῆς προθέσεως; Ex 25:23–30; Jos., Bell. 5, 217) Hb 9:2. Of the τράπεζα τοῦ θεοῦ in the tabernacle, upon which Moses laid the twelve rods 1 Cl 43:2.

ⓑ specif. the table upon which a meal is spread out (Hom. et al.; Jos., Ant. 8, 239) Mt 15:27; Mk 7:28; Lk 16:21; 22:21. Of the heavenly table at which the Messiah’s companions are to eat at the end of time vs. 30 (s. JJeremias, Zöllner u. Sünder, ZNW 30, ’31, 293–300). Also in γενηθήτω ἡ τράπεζα αὐτῶν εἰς παγίδα it is prob. (cp. Jos., Ant. 6, 363) that this kind of table is meant Ro 11:9 (Ps 68:23).—The contrast betw. τράπεζα κυρίου and τρ. δαιμονίων 1 Cor 10:21 is explained by the custom of eating a cult meal in the temple of divinities worshiped by polytheists (POxy 110 ἐρωτᾷ σε Χαιρήμων δειπνῆσαι εἰς κλείνην τοῦ κυρίου Σαράπιδος ἐν τῷ Σαραπείῳ αὔριον, ἥτις ἐστὶν ιε´, ἀπὸ ὥρας θ´ ‘Chaeremon requests you to dine at the table of Sarapis in the Sarapeum on the morrow, the 15th, at the ninth hour’; 523; POslo 157 [all three II A.D.]; Jos., Ant. 18, 65. τράπεζα of the table of a divinity is found in such and similar connections Diod S 5, 46, 7 τρ. τοῦ θεοῦ; SIG 1106, 99 ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ; 1022, 2; 1038, 11; 1042, 20; LBW 395, 17 Σαράπιδι καὶ Ἴσιδι τράπεζαν; POxy 1755. Cp. Sb 8828, 4 [180–82 A.D.] ἐν ὀνίροις τὸ συμπόσιον ποιῆσαι τοῦ κυρίου Σεράπιδος=celebrate the meal with Lord Sarapis in dreams; s. also New Docs 1, 5–9; 2, 37; 3, 69.—Ltzm., Hdb. exc. on 1 Cor 10:21; HMischkowski, D. hl. Tische im Götterkultus d. Griech. u. Römer, diss. Königsberg 1917).

ⓒ the table on which the money changers display their coins (Pla., Ap. 17c; cp. PEleph 10, 2 [223/222 B.C.] the τραπεζῖται ἐν τοῖς ἱεροῖς) Mt 21:12; Mk 11:15; J 2:15. Hence simply bank (Lysias, Isocr., Demosth. et al.; EpArist; Jos., Ant. 12, 28; ins; PEleph 27, 23; POxy 98 al. in pap. The Engl. ‘bank’ is the money-lender’s ‘bench’; s. OED s.v. bank sb.³) διδόναι τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τράπεζαν put the money in the bank to bear interest Lk 19:23.—Ac 6:2 may contain humorous wordplay, which mingles the idea of table service and accounting procedures: serve as accountants (on the banking terminology s. Field, Notes 113, referring to Plut., Caesar 721 [28, 4]; 739 [67, 1], but w. discount of meal service as a referent. In addition to Field’s observations note the prob. wordplay relating to λόγος [for its commercial nuance s. λόγος 2a on the same verse; s. also Goodsp., Probs. 126f, w. reff. to pap]. For epigraphs s. RBogaert, Epigraphica III ’76 index).—B. 352 (meal); 483; 778 (bank).

② that which is upon a table, a meal, food, metonymic ext. of 1 (Eur., Alc. 2; Hdt. 1, 162; Pla., Rep. 3, 404d; Lucian, Dial. Mort. 9, 2; Athen. 1, 25e) παραθεῖναι τράπεζαν set food before someone (Thu. 1, 130; Chariton 1, 13, 2; Aelian, VH 2, 17; Jos., Ant. 6, 338.—Ps 22:5 ἑτοιμάζειν τρ.) Ac 16:34; τράπ. κοινήν (κοινός 1a) Dg 5:7. ὁρίζειν τράπεζαν order a meal D 11:9. διακονεῖν τραπέζαις wait on tables, serve meals Ac 6:2 (so ELohmeyer, JBL 56, ’37, 231; 250f, but s. 1c above).—See GRichter, The Furniture of the Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans ’66; Kl.

ἑορτή, ῆς, ἡ (s. prec. entry; Hom.+; ins, pap, LXX; ParJer 7:31; EpArist, Philo, Joseph.; Ar. 10:8; Just., Mel.; Ath. 26, 3) a day or series of days marked by a periodic celebration or observance, festival, celebration ἐν μέρει ἑορτῆς with regard to a festival Col 2:16. More specif. defined ἡ ἑ. τοῦ πάσχα the Passover festival (Ex 34:25) Lk 2:41; J 13:1. τὸ πάσχα ἡ ἑ. τῶν Ἰουδαίων 6:4. ἡ ἑ. τῶν ἀζύμων the festival of unleavened bread Lk 22:1; cp. GPt 2:5 (Mel., P. 93, 695). ἡ ἑ. τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἡ σκηνοπηγία the Judeans’ festival of Tabernacles or Booths J 7:2; ἡ ἑ. the festival is shown by the context to be a particular one: Passover Mt 26:5; Lk 2:42; J 4:45; 11:56; 12:12, 20 al.; the festival of Tabernacles 7:8, 10f, 14, 37.—5:1 the witnesses and editions vary betw. the indefinite ἑ. a festival and ἡ ἑ. the festival (for the attestation and interpr. s. Hdb. ad loc.; JUbbink, NThSt 5, 1922, 131–36). Simply ἑ. of the feast of Tabernacles PtK 2 p. 14, 29.—ἐν τ. ἑ. during the festival (Jos., Bell. 2, 89, Ant. 20, 109 ἐν ἑ.) Mt 26:5; Mk 14:2; J 4:45; 7:11; 12:20; εἶναι ἐν τ. ἑορτῇ take part in the festival 2:23 (CBurchard, ZNW 61, ’70, 157–88—also Mk 14:2, Mt 26:5, J 7:11). εἰς τ. ἑορτήν for the festival 13:29 (cp.

(Jos., Bell. 1, 73; 6, 300) 4:45; 11:56; 12:12. τ. ἑορτῆς μεσούσης when the festival was half over 7:14. τ. ἑορτῆς παυσαμένης GPt 14:58. κατὰ ἑορτήν at each (Passover) festival Mt 27:15; Mk 15:6; Lk 23:17 v.l. (should it be limited to the Passover? Any festival at all could be the proper occasion to free a prisoner. Cp. Heliod. 8, 7 p. 227, 6ff Bekker: ἡ δέσποινα … τήμερον ἀφήσειν ἐπηγγείλατο [Theagenes], ἑορτήν τινα πάτριον εὐωχεῖν μέλλουσα ‘the mistress has promised to release [Theagenes], out of intention to celebrate some traditional festival’). κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τ. ἑορτῆς acc. to the custom of the feast Lk 2:42. τ. ἑορτὴν ποιεῖν keep the festival (Ael.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: Orig. name of the Propontis and the Dardanelles with a part of the sea which opens to the Aegaean and the Gulf of Melas; since the 5th cent. often limited to the straits of the Dardanelle. (Il.). Cf. V. Burr Nostrum mare (Würzb. Stud. z. Altertumswiss. 4 [1932]) 11ff.

Compounds: Comp. Έλλησποντο-φύλακες name of the custom officials on the Hellespont;

Derivatives: Έλλησπόντιος, - ποντιακός, f. - ποντιάς `hellespontic', Έλλησποντίας, Ion. - ίης ( ἄνεμος) name of the Northeastwind (cf. Chantr. Form. 95), Ion.-Att.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The traitional explanation as "Sea of Helle" is defended by Kretschmer Glotta 27, 29 against Burr (s. above). The old etymology seems most improbable to me.
