(sc. ὀστέα) `the bones of the eyes' (Hp.). -- Several derivv., esp. w. τ-formant: 1. verbaladj. ὀπ-τός (Luc. Lex. 9, Ath.), earlier a. more usual from the prefixed verbs, e.g. ὕπ-, ἄπ-, κάτ-, πρό-οπ-τος ( προὖπτος) with ὑπ-, ἀπ-, κατ-οπτ-εύω, ὑποψ-ία etc. 2. nom. ag. a. instr.: a) ἐπ-, κατ- (h. Merc. 372), ὑπερ-, δι-όπ-της etc., also w. ἐπ-, κατ-, ὑπερ-, δι-οπτ-εύω (Κ 451 beside διοπ-τήρ 562); from there simplex ὀπτεύω (Ar. Av. 1061; Leumann Hom.

Adj.: ὀπτ-ικός `of sight', - ική f. `optics' (Arist.), older (Pl.) συν-, ἐπ-, ὑπερ-οπτ-ικός. 4. nom. actionis: ὄψ, ὀπ-ός f. `eye, face' (Emp. 88, Antim. 65), more often as 2. member, e.g. οἶν-οψ `winecoloured' (Hom.); ὄψις ( ἔπ-, πρόσ-, σύν-) f. `sight, vision, view, appearance' (Il.); ὄψανον n. `appearance' (A. Ch. 534; suffixcombination, Schwyzer 517). 5. on `eye': ὀπτ-ίλ(λ)ος m. see ὀφθαλμός (s.v.). 6. Verbs: ὀπτ-άνομαι (LXX, hell.), - άζομαι (LXX) `to appear, to become visible', prob. after αἰσθάνομαι (diff. Schwyzer 700 n. 2) resp. αὑγάζομαι; ὀπταίνω (Eust.; like παπταίνω a.o.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [775] * h₃ekʷ- `see'

Etymology: As basis of all these formen served an in its original function unclear word ὀπ- ('see' or `eye'), which is also contained in ὄπις, ὄσσε, ὄμμα, ὤψ (s. vv.); ὄσσε from *ὄκ-ι̯ε points to IE * h₃ekʷ-, which has several representatives in many IE languages; cf. on ὄσσε.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [772] * h₃bʰel- `increase, augment'

Etymology: To the primary yot-present ὀφέλλω \< *ὀφελ-ι̯ω, beside which with Aeol. development of the σ-aor. ὀφέλλειεν (\< *ὀφελ-σ-), belongs as verbal noun the widespread and old ὄφελος, which can be identified directly with Arm. * awel in awel-i `more' and the denom. y-awel-um `add, augment', in aṙ-awel `more' and aṙ-awel-um `augment': dron IE * obhel- (Pedersen KZ 39, 336). -- To be rejected Brugmann IF 29, 410ff.

Meaning: only aor. opt. παλήσειε of a fleet which cannot fight (Hdt. 8,21; cf. Weber Glotta 25, 267ff.), ind. ἐπάλησεν ἐφθάρη and perf. πεπαληκέναι ἐκπεσεῖν, πεπαλημέναι βεβλαμμέναι H.; besides (as if from πάλλω) πεπαλμένος βεβλαμμένος, ἔξαρθρος γεγονώς H., πεπαλκέναι λέγεται τὸ ἐκπίπτειν τὰ πλοῖα Phot.

Derivatives: Besides ἐκπαλής `dislocated' (Hp., H.) with ἐκπαλ-έω `to jump out of the joint, to disjoint' (Hp.), ἐκπάλ-ησις, - εία f. `dislocation' (medic.).

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

Etymology: Perh. from πάλλω. The rare, mostly only lexically attested simplex can be a backformation from ἐκπαλέω, which was analyzed as ἐκ-παλέω, though it was a denominative of ἐκπαλ-ής pop. `jumped out', from ἐκ-πάλλομαι `jumt out' as medic. expression of a dislocated member; s. πάλλω. - Furnée 149 connects words with βαλ-, which would show that the word is Pre-Greek.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [816] * per- `bring over'

Etymology: With the yot-present πείρω agrees phonet. and semant. OCS na-perjǫ `pierce'; the aorist πεῖραι has a formal agreement in Skt. aor. subj. párṣat(i) `may he carry over' (IE * per-s-); here the reduplicated pres. pí-par-ti. The meaning `carry over, ferry over' is still found in Greek in πόρος, πορθμός. Beside πόρος stands in Germ. a corresponding IE ā-stem, OWNo. fǫr, OE faru f. `voyage, expedition' (would be Gr. *πορά); here further Thrac. PN in - παρος, - παρα. The family has further a great many representatives in several languages, e.g. in Latin por-ta, - tus, - tāre, in Germ. OHG etc. faran `fare', in Armen. heriwn `piercer', which learn nothing for πείρω a. con.; s. also πορεῖν (and πέρνημι)}. -- WP. 2, 39 f., Pok. 816f., W.-Hofmann s. porta, Mayrhofer s. píparti² w. further details a. lit.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [809?] * pr- `sprinkle'?

Etymology: The series πίμπρημι: πιμπράναι: πρήσω: πρῆσαι: πρησθῆναι: πρήθω agrees exactly to that of πίμπλημι: πιμπλάναι etc.; s.v. and Schwyzer 688f., 703 a. 761 w. further details. How the individual forms are to be evaluated and how the system was formed, cannot be reconstructed as there are no agreeing forms outside Greek. For comparison many words with pr- have been adduced, e.g. Skt. próthati `cough, sneeze', pruṣṇóti `sprinkle', Germ., e.g. OWNo. frūsa, frysa, Swed. frusta `sneeze', Hitt. parāi- ( prāi-?) `breathe, blow, stir up'.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [835] * pleu- `sail, flow'

Etymology: The primary themat. root-present πλέ(Ϝ)ω agrees with Skt. plávate `swimm, flow', OCS plovǫ, pluti ' πλέω', prob. also with Lat. pluit `it rains' (from * plovit \< * plevit; cf. Ernout-Meillet s. v.); with πλεύσομαι agrees, prob. as parallel innovation, Skt. ploṣyati. Beside the nom. actionis πλό(Ϝ)ος stands in Skt. with expected oxytonesis the nom. agentis plavá- m.; with this identical Russ. plov `ship, barge' and Toch. B plewe `ship' (IE *plou̯os). Thus πλοῖον (for *πλόϜιον) = OWNo. fley n. `ship'.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [832] *pleh₂k\/g- `beat'

Etymology: With the primary yot-present πλήσσω from *πλᾱκ-ι̯ω agrees a Slav. word for `weep, lament' (prop. `beat one's breast'), e.g. OCS plačǫ (sę), Russ. pláču; to this the verbal noun Lith. plókis m. `blow, stroke'. Final media as in πλᾱγ-ά̄, πληγ-ή a.o. is also found in Germ., e.g. OE flōcan `clap approval', Goth. redupl. pret. faí-flokun ' ἐκόπτοντο', OHG fluohhon `curse' (IE * plāg-). The zero grade in πλᾰγ-ηναι (with sec. short α) is also represented in the nasalized πλάζω (with Lat. plangō); beside it with -k- Lith. plakù, plàkti `beat, chastise'. Beside these forms going back on IE * plāk-, plāg- [but not * plak-, plag-!] stand with deviating vocalism Lith. plíek-iu, -ti `beat, whip' (cross with an other verb?), Lat. plectō, - ere `punish, chastise' (ē or ĕ). -- Connection with the group of πλάξ (prop. `beat broadly'?) may be considered.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably]

Etymology: Decisive for the morphological evaluation of ποιέω are some dialectic aorist-forms: Arg. ποιϜέ̄σανς, ἐποίϜε̄hε, ἐποιϜέ̄θε̄, Boeot. ἐποίϜε̄σε, to which pres. opt. El. [πο]ιϜέοι (beside repeated ποιέοι). Acc. to usual interpretation (lit. in Bq and WP. 1, 510) ποιϜέω is derived from a noun *ποιϜός, which would be found in ἀρτο-ποιός a.o. An independent noun *ποιϜός cannot however be deduced from the 2. member, as the relevant adjectives seems recent and may have been derived from the verbal expressions ( τοξοφόρ-ος: τόξον φέρειν, λογογράφ-ος: λόγον γράφειν etc.). One might think that in the simplex we have a compound of - ποιέω that was made independent (Schwyzer 726 n. 7). -- The general meaning `make, create' may have arisen from the most different concrete special meanings. Nothing forbids to connect a verbal noun *ποι-Ϝός with u̯o-suffix (Schwyzer 472) with a verb `heap, accumulate, fit together', which is preserved in Indo-Iran., e.g. Skt. cinóti, and also has representatives in Slav., e.g. OCS činъ ' τάξις' with činiti `order, form'; IE kʷei- (WP. 1, 509f., Pok. 637f.). It is however obvious to combine, the u̯-element in *ποιϜός with the u̯-element in cinóti: so ποιϜέω from *kʷoi̯-u̯-éi̯ō beside cinóti from *kʷi-n-éu̯-ti approx. as Goth. straujan 'strew' from *strou̯-éi̯ō beside Skt. str̥ṇóti `strew' from *str̥-n-éu̯-ti (s. στόρνυμι) or Goth. - walwjan `revolve' beside Skt. vr̥ṇóti `envelop' and εἰλύω `id.' (*u̯ol-u-éi̯ō: *u̯l-n-éu̯-ti). In such an analysis ποιέω would appear like Goth. straujan, walwjan as an iterative deverbative and one would be liberated from the not quite reliable noun *ποιϜός.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [999] *spi̯(e)uH- `spew, spit'

Etymology: Beside the present πτύ̄-ω with long vowel (Schwyzer 686, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 373) there is the aorist πτῠ́-σαι with short vowel as in ἐρῠ́-σαι, ἀρῠ́-σαι a.o.; after this πτῠ́-σις and with anorganic σ πτύσ-μα, - μός a.o. -- Onomatop. expression, found in several languages in somewhat varying form: Lat. spuō, Germ., e.g. Goth. speiwan, Lith. spiáu-ju, -ti (from * spieuH-?), and in Skt. (niḥ-)ṣṭhī́vati (spiHu̯-? with t-v dissimilated from p-v); without s- as πτύω: CS pljujǫ, plǰьvati (from *pi̯u-\/pi̯uu̯-?), Arm. t`uk` `spittle' with t`k`-anem `spew, spit'; with diff. sequence of sounds Alb. pshtyj (Mann Lang. 26, 387). Greek πτ- can, if old, agree with Arm. t` ; if for older πι̯- OCS plǰujǫ and Lith. spiáuju can be compared. On the attempts to reduce the deviating forms to one preform, cf. Schwyzer 325 Zus. 3, WP. 2, 683 (Pok. 999f.), W.-Hofmann s. spuō (all w. lit.); further Collinder Ein indoeuropäisches Wohllautgesetz (Uppsala 1943) 9 f., 14. Well-founded objections against assuming a strict base-form for this popular-expressive expression in Persson Beitr. 1, 270 and Ernout-Meillet s. spuō. -- Greek too presents several variants: ἀπο-, ἐκ-πῡ-τίζω (Hp., com., Arist.; simplex πυτιζω only EM), prob. expressively enlarged with dissimilation (Lat. LW [loanword] pytissāre, cf. Leumann Kl. Schr. 159 w. n.1); Dor. ἐπι-φθύσδω = ἐπιπτύω (Theoc.); ψύττει πτύει and σίαι πτύσαι. Πάφιοι H. with σίαλον (s.d.).

Other forms: πωλ-ήσω, - ῆσαι, - ηθῆναι.

Compounds: Often w. prefix (esp. hell. a. late inscr. a. pap.), e.g. προ-, δια-, ἀνα-, ἀντι-.

Derivatives: 1. Nom. actionis: πώλ-ησις f. `sale (X. a.o.),- ημα n. `sale, sold merchandise' (inscr. Tauro- menion a.o.); backformation -ή, Dor. -ά f. `sale' (Sophr., Hyp. fr.). 2.

Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 26 a. 109 w. n. 3, Schwyzer 451; from this as momentary formation the simplex πώλης (Ar.). 3. Nom. loci - ητήριον `selling-booth' (X. a.o.). 4. Adj. - ητικός `belonging to sale' (Pl.; Chantraine Études 134), - ιμος `for sale' (hell. pap.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [804] * pel- `sell'

Etymology: Acc. to its formation πωλέω must be an iterative-intensive deverbative, though neither in Greek nor in the related languages a corresponding primary verb can be shown with certainty. However Skt. páṇate `purchase, buy' can represent an old nasalpresent in MInd. form IE *pl̥-nā-ti). With this n-present is clearly related (except Skt. paṇa- n. `bet, stake, wages') a Balto-Slav. noun: Lith. pel̃nas `gain, profit, merit', Slav., e.g. OCS plěnъ ' λάφυρον', Russ. polón `captivity, booty'; IE * pel-no-s. From Germ. come two isolated adj.: OWNo. falr `vendible' (IE * polo-s), OHG fāli `id.' (IE *pēli̯o-s; formation like OWNo. ǣtr = Skt. ādyàs `eatable' \< IE *ēdi̯o-s); besides OHG feili, NHG feil with unexplained vocalism. Further details w. lit. in Mayrhofer s. páṇate, Fraenkel s. pel̃nas, Vasmer s. polón; older lit. in Bq and WP. 2, 51 (Pok. 804). -- Semant. πωλέω is close to ἐμπολή `trade(ware), purchase, gain' (s.v.), which is usu. connected with πέλομαι prop. *'turn (oneself)'; for πωλέω to πέλομαι Schwyzer 720. With this combination one should abandon the words mentioned above from IE * pel-. -- Cf. the lit. on πέρνημι.

Etymology: The notation with υ, in the mss. (after ῥοιβδέω) often ousted by οι, is confirmed through the word-play with Χάρυβδις; s.

Compounds: Rarely with προσ-, ἀντι-.

Derivatives: A. σέβας n. (only nom. a. acc.; pl. σέβη A. Supp. 755) `(sacred) awe, amazement, worship, object of awe, of worship' (ep. poet. Il.); after γέρας? (cf.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1086] *ti̯egʷ- `have respcct for smb.'

Etymology: Phonetically possible, but at least at first sight semant. not very convincing is the connection with Skt. tyajati `desert, leave alone, abandon' (Brugmann IF 25, 301 ff., WP. 1, 746, Pok. 1086). The causative σοβέω (s. v.) points for σέβομαι to an orig. meaning `run away, flee' v. t.; from this `(schameful) redress for sth., yield'? Doubts by Mayrhofer s.v. (w. lit.); agreement by v. Erffa Αἰδώς (Phil. Supp. 30: 2) 27 f. The equation of σεπτός with tyaktá-, of θεο-σέπτωρ with tyaktar-, to which also the s-stems σέβας: tyajas- (Porzig Satzinhalte 301), is without impostance for the etymology, as it could be monolingual innovations.

Nu. 730; parody).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [1028] * ster- `steal, rob'

Etymology: The above forms prob. all go back on the themat. present στέρομαι. Also the isolated ipv. σταρέστω, which Bechtel Dial. 2, 231 (agreeing Schwyzer 747 and Thumb-Kieckers Dial. 1, 275) wants to see as a zero grade root-aorist can be explained (with Schwyzer 274) as purely phonetical from στερέσθω (with ε \> α before ρ), unless one prefers to see in it an analogical formation after NGr. hαρέσται. To the present στέρομαι came first the initially intransitive στερ-ῆναι, - ήσομαι (if old, one would expect σταρ-) - ηθῆναι, - ηθήσομαι; to these came the active στερῆσαι ( στερέσαι after ὀλέ-σαι a.o.), - ήσω etc., to which came at last στερ-έω, - ίσκω (cf. e.g. εὑρ-ήσω: - ίσκω; Schwyzer 709 a. 721; on the forms still Brunel Aspect verbal 115 f.). -- Certain cognates are missing. A possible connection is MIr. serb `theft', which can stand for *ster-u̯ā; further one connects since Osthoff PBBeitr. 13, 460 f. the Germ. verb for `steal', Goth. stilan, OHG. stelan etc., which may have l for r from hehlen.

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

Etymology: As so many words in - β- the above group as a whole has a popular-expressive character. The primary verb that belongs here has an aspirate, s. στρέφω. -- I don't think that the word has anything to do with στρέφω. The word is rather Pre-Greek (note the prenasalization in στóμβος; the suffix in στραβ-αλ-, στροβ-αν-; the suffix - ιλ- is frequent in Pre-Greek. The variation α\/ο\/οι is unknown to me. None of the words is discussed by Furnée.)

Etymology: Unexplained, without a doubt Pre-Greek (e. g. Malten ArchJb. 28, 35ff.; on Elysion as Pre-Greek conception Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 324ff.). Often connected with ἐλεύσομαι, ἤλυθον (EM 428, 36, Fick 1³, 200, Capelle Arch. f. Religionswiss. 26, 30ff.); against this view a. o. Wackernagel Dehnungsgesetz 5 (= Kl. Schr. 2, 901), Güntert Kalypso 38 n. 3. Untenable IE etymologies also by Schrader Sprachvergleichung und Urgesch.³ 435 (to Lith. vė̃lės `ghosts of the dead', OWNo. valr m. sg. `the corpses on the battlefield' etc.; against these views Güntert l. c.), by Carnoy Beitr. z. Namenforschung 7, 119 (to ἦλος τόπος..., ἐν ᾦ οὑδεν φύεται H.). Explanations from Semitic (Lewy Fremdw. 219ff., Cocco Biblos 31, separ. ed. 1ff.) are also to be considered wrong. Beekes, FS Watkins 1998, 19-23, refutes that somebody struck by lightning goes to Elysion; against Burkert, Glotta 39 (1961) 208 -213. He thinks the word is derived with - ιο- from a geographical name * ᾽Ε\/ ᾽Αλυτ\/θ-, with long first vowel, perhaps metri causa.

διαθήκη, ης, ἡ (Democr., Aristoph.+; ins, pap, LXX, En, TestSol, TestAbr, Test12Patr; ParJer 6:21; ApcEsdr, ApcMos; AssMos Fgm. a; Philo, Joseph., Just.; Mel., HE 4, 26, 14) apart from the simplex θήκη ‘case, chest’, for the mng. of this word one must begin with the mid. form of the verb διατίθεμαι, which is freq. used in legal and commercial discourse of disposition of things (s. L-S-J-M s.v. διατιθημι B), w. implication of promissory obligation. Disposition of one’s personal effects would naturally come under testamentary law, hence

① last will and testament (so exclusively in Hellenistic times, Eger [s. 3 below] 99 note; exx. e.g. in Riggenbach 292ff; Behm 10, 1; 2; Philo, Joseph., Test12Patr; loanw. in rabb.) Hb 9:16f; δ. κεκυρωμένη a will that has been ratified Gal 3:15; cp. 17, where δ. shades into mng. 2 (s. κυρόω 1, προκυρόω); s. also EBammel, below, and JSwetnam, CBQ 27, ’65, 373–90. On Jewish perspective s. RKatzoff, An Interpretation of PYadin 19—A Jewish Gift after Death: ProcXXCongPap 562–65.

② As a transl. of בְּרִית in LXX δ. retains the component of legal disposition of personal goods while omitting that of the anticipated death of a testator. A Hellenistic reader would experience no confusion, for it was a foregone conclusion that gods were immortal. Hence a δ. decreed by God cannot require the death of the testator to make it operative. Nevertheless, another essential characteristic of a testament is retained, namely that it is the declaration of one person’s initiative, not the result of an agreement betw. two parties, like a compact or a contract. This is beyond doubt one of the main reasons why the LXX rendered בְּרִית by δ. In the ‘covenants’ of God, it was God alone who set the conditions; hence covenant (s. OED s.v. ‘covenant’ sb. 7) can be used to trans. δ. only when this is kept in mind. So δ. acquires a mng. in LXX which cannot be paralleled w. certainty in extra-Biblical sources, namely ‘decree’, ‘declaration of purpose’, ‘set of regulations’, etc. Our lit., which is very strongly influenced by LXX in this area, seems as a rule to have understood the word in these senses (JHughes, NovT 21, ’79, 27–96 [also Hb 9:16–20; Gal 3:15–17]). God has issued a declaration of his purpose Ro 11:27 (Is 59:21); 1 Cl 15:4 (Ps 77:37); 35:7 (Ps 49:16), which God bears in mind (cp. Ps 104:8f; 105:45 al.) Lk 1:72; it goes back to ancestral days Ac 3:25 (PsSol 9:10; ParJer 6:21). God also issued an ordinance (of circumcision) 7:8 (cp. Gen 17:10ff). Since God’s holy will was set forth on more than one occasion (Gen 6:18; 9:9ff; 15:18; 17:2ff; Ex 19:5 and oft.), one may speak of διαθῆκαι decrees, assurances (cp. διαθῆκαι πατέρων Wsd 18:22; 2 Macc 8:15.—But the pl. is also used for a single testament: Diog. L. 4, 44; 5, 16. In quoting or referring to Theophr. sometimes the sing. [Diog. L. 5, 52; 56] is used, sometimes the pl. [5, 51; 57]) Ro 9:4; Eph 2:12. Much emphasis is laid on the δ. καινή, mentioned as early as Jer 38:31, which God planned for future disposition (Hb 8:8–10; 10:16). God’s decree or covenant directed toward the Christians is a καινὴ δ. (δ. δευτέρα Orig., C. Cels. 2, 75) Lk 22:20; 1 Cor 11:25; 2 Cor 3:6; Hb 8:8; 9:15a; PtK 2 p. 15, 5, or δ. νέα Hb 12:24; PtK 2 p. 15, 6 which, as a δ. αἰώνιος (cp. Jer 39:40; En 99:2) Hb 13:20, far excels 7:22; 8:6 the παλαιὰ δ. 2 Cor 3:14, or πρώτη δ. Hb 9:15b, with which it is contrasted. Both are mentioned (Did., Gen. 46, 4; 235, 26) Gal 4:24; B 4:6ff (Ex 34:28; 31:18; Just., D. 67, 9). Blood was shed when the old covenant was proclaimed at Sinai Hb 9:20 (Ex 24:8); the same is true of the new covenant Hb 10:29. τὸ αἷμά μου τ. διαθήκης Mt 26:28; Mk 14:24 (ELohse, Märtyrer u. Gottesknecht², ’63, 122–29) is prob. to be understood in connection w. this blood (s. WWrede, ZNW 1, 1900, 69–74; TRobinson, My Blood of the Covenant: KMarti Festschr. 1925, 232–37; for a critique of this view s. GWalther, Jesus, D. Passalamm des Neuen Bundes, ’50, 22–27 and JJeremias TLZ, ’51, 547. For Syriac background JEmerton, JTS 13, ’62, 111–17; s. also ÉDelebrecque, Études grecques sur l’vangile de Luc ’76, 109–21).—The v.l. Lk 22:29 may be derived from Jer 39:40 or Is 55:3 LXX (for the cognate acc. s. Aristoph., Aves 440).—δ. may also be transl. decree in the Ep. of Barnabas (4:6ff; 6:19; 9:6; 13:1, 6; 14:1ff δ. δοῦναί τινι); but the freq. occurrence of the idea of inheritance (6:19; 13:1, 6; 14:4f), makes it likely that the ‘decree’ is to be thought of as part of a will.

③ The mng. compact, contract seems firmly established for Gr-Rom. times (FNorton, A Lexicographical and Historical Study of Διαθήκη, Chicago 1908, 31ff; EBruck, D. Schenkung auf d. Todesfall im griech. u. röm. Recht I 1909, 115ff; JWackernagel, D. Kultur d. Gegenw. I 8² 1907, 309). It remains doubtful whether this mng. has influenced our lit. here and there (exc. quite prob. Lk 22:29 v.l. with its administrative tenor; the phrase διατίθεμαι δ. as Aristoph., Av. 440 of a treaty agreement), but the usage of the term δ. in such sense would again serve as a bridge to LXX usage.—The expr. ἡ κιβωτὸς τ. διαθήκης covenant chest i.e. the sacred box (Eng. ‘ark’ as loanw. from Lat. arca) that symbolized God’s pledge of presence w. Israel (Ex 31:7; 39:14 al.) Hb 9:4; Rv 11:19 or αἱ πλάκες τ. διαθ. (Ex 34:28; Dt 9:9, 11) Hb 9:4 would have required some acquaintance with Israelite tradition on the part of ancient readers.—ERiggenbach, D. Begriff d. Διαθήκη im Hb: Theol. Stud. f.
