Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `squeezed out drop[ pouring out]' (Arist., Thphr., Men., AP a. o.).

Derivatives: Beside it στραγγ-ός (also - γ-) `flowing drop by drop', also `tied together, entangled, by shocks, irregular' (medic. a.o.), - εῖον n. `drop-bottle' (medic.). - ίας ( πυρός) `kind of wheat' (Thphr.; cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 91). As 1. element in the compound στραγγ-ουρ-ία, Ion. - ίη f. = ἡ κατὰ στράγγα οὔρησις (Gal.), `strangury' (Hp., Att., hell. a. late) with - ικός, - ιώδης, - ιάω, - έω. Denominatives 1. στραγγ-ίζω, also w. κατα-, ἐκ-, ἀπο-, `to squeeze out drop by drop' (LXX, Dsc. a.o.); 2. - εύομαι (auch - γ-) `to hesitate, to linger, to dawdle' (Ar., Pl. hell. a. late; on the meaning below) with - εία f. `hesitation' (M. Ant.). -- With λ-sufflx: στραγγάλη f. `cord, rope, noose' (J., Plu., S. E.) wit - αλίς f. `entangled knot, induration' (com. V^a, Arist. a.o.), - αλιά f. `id.' (LXX etc.; Scheller Oxytonierung 88), - αλιώδης `knotty, entangled' (LXX, Com. Adesp.), - αλάω `to choke, to strangle' (Men., LXX), - αλίζω, also w. ἀπο-, `id.' (D. S., Str. etc.), - αλισμός (gloss.), - αλόομαι `to become entangled, ensnared' (Ph. Bel. a.o.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: With στράγξ cf. στρίγξ, λύγξ, κλαγγ-ί a.o.; στραγγ-άλη as σκυτ-άλη etc. -- Of στράγξ a. cogn. remind strongly of several words from other languages: Lat. stringō `string, tie together', if from * strengō with analog. i in strictus, Latv. stringu, stringt (zero grade) `become stiff', also `wither' (from `shrivel, contract'), MIr. srengim `draw, drag', NIr. sreang `strand, strick', Germ., e.g. OHG strang, OWNo. strengr (from * strang-i-) `id.', OWNo. strangr, OS strang, OHG strengi `stretched, stiff, unbendible, streng etc.' with Norw. strengja `draw stiff', NHG anstrengen etc., IE * streng(h)-, strong(h)-. But then στραγγ- must stand either as zero grade for στραγ- (= Latv. stringt; in στραγ-ός, - εύομαι beside στραγγ- still retained?) or have got the α-vowel secondarily, which would not surprise with the orig. popular character of this word group. As orig. meaning of this family we must posit `string, tie together', which had in Greek a quite special development. Thus the drop, στράγξ, as "which strings, ties together," resp. "which is strung togethet" (as opposed to free running liquidity) interpreted; cf. σύστρεμμα also `round drop of water'. (Prop. from washing? Thierfelder by letter.) The meaning `linger, hesitate' in στραγ-γεύομαι can be explained both from `draw together, congeal' as from `run by drops (= slowly)'. -- Further forms and combinations a. lit. in WP. 2, 650f., Pok. 1036f., W.-Hofmann s. stringō. Lat. LW [loanword] strangūria, strangulō. Cf. στρογγύλος. -- The word is no doubt Pre-Greek (cf. the variant without nasal, and the a-vocalism).

The ruler of this age is the devil: ὁ θεὸς τοῦ αἰ. τούτου 2 Cor 4:4 (θεός 5). ἄρχων τοῦ αἰ. τούτου IEph 17:1; 19:1; IMg 1:3; ITr 4:2; IRo 7:1; IPhld 6:2; his subordinate spirits are the ἄρχοντες τοῦ αἰ. τούτου 1 Cor 2:6, 8 (ἄρχων 1c).—Also ὁ νῦν αἰών (Did., Gen. 148, 21): πλούσιοι ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰ. 1 Ti 6:17; ἀγαπᾶν τὸν νῦν αἰ. 2 Ti 4:10; Pol 9:2.

Hb 9:26; on GMary 463, 1 s. καιρός end.

ⓑ ὁ αἰὼν μέλλων (הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא) the age to come, the Messianic period (on the expr. cp. Demosth. 18, 199; Hippocr., Ep. 10, 6 ὁ μ. αἰ.=the future, all future time; Ael.

Hs 4:2ff, opposed to the αἰὼν οὗτος both in time and quality, cp. Mt 12:32; Eph 1:21; δυνάμεις μέλλοντος αἰ. Hb 6:5. Also αἰ. ἐκεῖνος: τοῦ αἰ. ἐκείνου τυχεῖν take part in the age to come Lk 20:35. ὁ αἰ. ὁ ἐρχόμενος Mk 10:30; Lk 18:30; Hs 4:2, 8. ὁ αἰ. ὁ ἐπερχόμενος Hv 4, 3, 5: pl. ἐν τοῖς αἰῶσιν τοῖς ἐπερχομένοις in the ages to come Eph 2:7. As a holy age ὁ ἅγιος αἰ. (opp. οὗτος ὁ κόσμος; cp. εἰς τὸν μείζονα αἰ. TestJob 47:3) B 10:11 and as a time of perfection αἰ. ἀλύπητος an age free from sorrow 2 Cl 19:4 (cp. αἰ. … τοῦ ἀπαραλλάκτου TestJob 33:5), while the present αἰών is an ‘aeon of pain’ (Slav. Enoch 65, 8).—The plurals 1 Cor 10:11 have been explained by some as referring to both ages, i.e. the end-point of the first and beginning of the second; this view urges that the earliest Christians believed that the two ages came together during their own lifetimes: we, upon whom the ends of the ages have come (JWeiss. A Greek would not refer to the beginning as τέλος. The Gordian knot has οὔτε τέλος οὔτε ἀρχή: Arrian, Anab. 2, 3, 7). But since τὰ τέλη can also mean ‘end’ in the singular (Ael. Aristid. 44, 17 K.=17 p. 406 D.: σώματος ἀρχαὶ κ. τέλη=‘beginning and end’; 39 p. 737 D.: τὰ τέλη … δράματος; Longus 1, 23, 1 ms. ἦρος τέλη; Vi.

Cp. TestLevi 14:1 ἐπὶ τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων.—For the essential equivalence of sing. and pl. cp. Maximus Tyr. 14, 8b τὰ τῆς κολακείας τέλη beside τέλος τῆς σπουδῆς. Cp. also τέλος 5.

③ the world as a spatial concept, the world (αἰ. in sg. and pl. [B-D-F §141, 1]: Hippocr., Ep. 17, 34; Diod S 1, 1, 3 God rules ἅπαντα τὸν αἰῶνα; Ael.

δόξα, ης, ἡ (s. δοξάζω; in var. mngs. Hom.+; in Ath. ‘meaning’). In many of the passages in our lit. the OT and Gr-Rom. perceptions of dependence of fame and honor on extraordinary performance deserve further exploration. SIG 456, 15 is typical: concern for others leads to enhancement of one’s δόξα or reputation. The Common Gk. usage of δ. in sense of ‘notion, opinion’ is not found in the NT.

ⓒ in explanations:

α. to show how someth. is to be understood is a representation of, is the equivalent of; εἰμί here, too, serves as copula; we usually translate mean, so in the formula τοῦτʼ ἔστιν this or that means, that is to say (Epict., Ench. 33, 10; Arrian, Tact. 29, 3; SIG 880, 50; PFlor 157, 4; PSI 298, 9; PMert 91, 9; Jos., C. Ap. 2, 16; ApcMos 19; Just., D. 56, 23; 78, 3 al.) Mk 7:2; Ac 19:4; Ro 7:18; 9:8; 10:6, 8; Phlm 12; Hb 7:5 al.; in the sense that is (when translated) (Polyaenus 8, 14, 1 Μάξιμος ἀνηγορεύθη• τοῦτο δʼ ἄν εἴη Μέγιστον) Mt 27:46; Ac 1:19. So also w. relative pron.: ὅ ἐστιν Mk 3:17; 7:11, 34; Hb 7:2. After verbs of asking, recognizing, knowing and not knowing (Antiphanes Com. 231, 1f τὸ ζῆν τί ἐστι;) μάθετε τί ἐστιν learn what (this) means Mt 9:13. εἰ ἐγνώκειτε τί ἐστιν 12:7; cp.

Ἀγύλλα: τὶς ἠρώτα τί ἂν εἴη τὸ ὄνομα) τί ἂν εἴη ταῦτα Lk 15:26; τί εἴη τοῦτο 18:36. τίνα θέλει ταῦτα εἶναι what this means Ac 17:20; cp. 2:12, where the question is not about the mng. of terms but the significance of what is happening.—Esp. in interpr. of the parables (Artem. 1, 51 p. 48, 26 ἄρουρα οὐδὲν ἄλλο ἐστὶν ἢ γυνή=field means nothing else than woman) ὁ ἀγρός ἐστιν ὁ κόσμος the field means the world Mt 13:38; cp. vss. 19f, 22f; Mk 4:15f, 18, 20; Lk 8:11ff (cp.

β. to be of relative significance, be of moment or importance, amount to someth. w. indef. pron. εἰδωλόθυτόν τί ἐστιν meat offered to idols means anything 1 Cor 10:19.
