(B-D-F §350; Rob. 1031f) promise with an oath Mt 14:7. Solemnly promise, vow ὁ … ὁμολογήσας μὴ γῆμαι ἄγαμος διαμενέτω Agr 18.
    ② to share a common view or be of common mind about a matter, agree (Hdt. 2, 81 of similarity in cultic rites; Pla., Sym. 202b ὁμολογεῖταί γε παρὰ πάντων μέγας θεὸς εἶναι=there is general agreement that [Love] is a great god; prob. Cleanthes in his definition of τὸ ἀγαθόν: Coll. Alex. p. 229, no. 3, 7; 4 Macc 13:5 reach a conclusion together; pap; Sext. Emp., Adv. Eth. 218 agreement on a subject; Iren. 1, 26, 2 [Harv.

Ant. 2, 4 [p. 102, 10]) ὁμολογοῦσιν τὰ ἀμφότερα they agree (with one another) on all of them Ac 23:8 (but s. 3a below). This meaning readily shades into
    ③ to concede that something is factual or true, grant, admit, confess (Just., D. 80, 1 admission of someth. in an argument; sim. 110, 1)
    ⓐ gener., to admit the truth of someth. (Pla., Prot. 317b ὁμολογῶ σοφιστὴς εἶναι; Jos., Ant. 3, 322 an admission of factuality by enemies; Just., D. 2, 5 ὡμολόγησα μὴ εἰδέναι admission of ignorance) agree, admit καθάπερ καὶ αὐτὸς ὡμολόγησας Dg 2:1. ὁμολογήσαντες ὅτι ξένοι εἰσίν admitting that they were (only) foreigners Hb 11:13. ὁμολογοῦμεν χάριν μὴ εἰληφέναι we admit that we have not received grace IMg 8:1.

Appian, Liby. 79 §369 ὁμολογοῦντες ἁμαρτεῖν; Sir 4:26; ApcSed 13:3 [abs.]; ὁμ. τὸ ἁμάρτημα Did., Gen. 93, 6; ins fr. Sardis: ὁμολογῶ τ[ὸ| ἁμάρτημ]α Μηνί=I confess my sin to Men, s.

    ④ to acknowledge someth., ordinarily in public, acknowledge, claim, profess, praise
    ⓐ of a public declaration as such (Herodian. 4, 4, 5 [fr. Steinleitner, p. 109, s. 3c] expression of thanks) ὁμολογήσω αὐτοῖς ὅτι (w. dir. disc. foll.) I will say to them plainly Mt 7:23.

Nom. 57, Abr. 203).—Instead of acc. of pers. we may have ἔν τινι confess someone, an Aramaism (s. Mlt-H. 463f; B-D-F §220, 2; EbNestle, ZNW 7,1906, 279f; 8, 1907, 241; 9, 1908, 253; FBurkitt, Earliest Sources for the Life of Jesus 1910, 19f). ὅστις ὁμολογήσει ἐν ἐμοὶ ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων whoever confesses me before people Mt 10:32a; sim. Lk 12:8a. But 2 Cl 3:2 uses the acc. when it quotes this saying (s. above.—In these last three pass. opp. ἀρν.). Jesus’ acknowledgment of the believer on judgment day complements this confession: ἐν αὐτῷ Mt 10:32b; Lk 12:8b. αὐτόν 2 Cl 3:2b (opp. ἀρν. in all these pass.—GBornkamm, D.

  • 17 spondeo

    spondĕo, spŏpondi, sponsum, 2 ( perf. spepondi, Cic., Caes., and Val. Antias ap. Gell. 7, 9, 12 sq.; Inscr. Orell. 4358;

    without redup. sponderat,

    Tert. Carm. adv. Mart. 3, 135; subj. sponsis = spoponderis, an ancient formula of prayer in Fest. p. 351 Müll.), v. a. [akin with spendô, to pour out, = libare; cf. spondai, league].
    I.
    Jurid. and publicists' t. t.
    A.
    In bargains, covenants, treaties, etc., to promise solemnly, to bind, engage, or pledge one's self (class.; syn.: recipio, stipulor, promitto; cf.: vadimonium obire, vadari); according to the civil law in its original form, it was essential to a binding contract verbally made (verbis) that a proposition and its acceptance should be expressed by the question spondes? and the answer spondeo; and only at a later period was the use of promitto, etc., valid (v. Sandars, Introd. ad Just. Inst. p. LV): verbis obligatio fit ex interrogatione et responsione, velut, Dari spondes? Spondeo. Dabis? Dabo. Promittis? Promitto;

    sed haec quidem verborum obligatio: dari spondes? spondeo, propria civium Romanorum est, cetera vero juris gentium sunt,

    Gai. Inst. 3, 91 sq.; Dig. 45, 1, 126; 45, 1, 133; cf.

    the whole title,

    ib. 45, 1: De verborum obligationibus: He. Aeternum tibi dapinabo victum, si vera autumas... Er. Sponden' tu istut? He. Spondeo, Plaut. Capt. 4, 2, 118: qui stulte spondet, Cato ap. Rufin. 18, p. 210:

    quis stipulatus est? Ubi? Quo die? Quis spopondisse me dicit? Nemo,

    Cic. Rosc. Com. 5, 13:

    ut aliquando spondere se diceret,

    id. Verr. 2, 5, 54, § 142:

    si quis quod spopondit, quā in re verbo se obligavit uno, si id non facit, etc.,

    id. Caecin. 3, 7:

    faeneris, quod stipulanti spoponderam tibi, reliquam pensiunculam percipe,

    Col. 10 praef.:

    ego meā fide spondeo futurum ut omnia invenias, etc.,

    Plin. Ep. 1, 14, 10.—
    B.
    To promise for another, to become security for a person, to enter bail, etc.:

    quod multis benigne fecerit, pro multis spoponderit,

    has become security, Cic. Planc. 19, 47:

    sed tamen scire velim quando dicar spopondisse et pro patre anne pro filio,

    id. Att. 12, 14, 2:

    quod pro Cornificio me abhinc annis XXV. spopondisse dicit Flavius,

    id. ib. 12, 17:

    et se quisque paratum ad spondendum Icilio ostendere,

    Liv. 3, 46, 7:

    sponsum diceres advocasse, Cic. Fragm. Clod. et Cur. 3, 4, p. 29 B. and K.: hic sponsum vocat,

    Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 67:

    sponsum descendam, quia promisi,

    Sen. Ben. 4, 39, 2. —
    2.
    Transf., of promises or pledges made in behalf of a government, etc.:

    non foedere pax Caudina, sed per sponsionem facta est... Spoponderunt consules, legati, quaestores, tribuni militum,

    Liv. 9, 5, 4:

    quod spondendo pacem servassent exercitum,

    id. 9, 8, 15:

    quid tandem si spopondissemus urbem hanc relicturum populum Romanum?

    id. 9, 9, 6:

    ea demum sponsio esset, quam populi jussu spopondissemus,

    id. 9, 9, 13:

    hosti nihil spopondistis, civem neminem spondere pro vobis jussistis,

    id. 9, 9, 16.—
    C.
    Esp., to promise or engage in marriage, betroth: qui uxorem ducturus erat ab eo unde ducenda erat, stipulabatur eam in matrimonium ductam iri; [p. 1746] qui daturus erat itidem spondebat. Tum quae promissa erat sponsa appellabatur, qui spoponderat ducturum, sponsus, Sulp. Dot. ap. Gell. 4, 4, 2: Ly. Istac lege filiam tuam sponden' mihi uxorem dari? Ch. Spondeo. Ca. Et ego spondeo idem hoc, Plaut. Trin. 5, 2, 38 sq.; 2, 4, 172: Me. Etiam mihi despondes filiam? Eu. Illis legibus, Cum illā dote quam tibi dixi. Me. Sponden' ergo? Eu. Spondeo, id. Aul. 2, 2, 78: Ph. Spondesne, miles, mi hanc uxorem? Th. Spondeo. Ph. Et ego huic victum spondeo, id. Curc. 5, 2, 73 sq.: sponden tu ergo tuam gnatam uxorem mihi? Ch. Spondeo et mille auri Philippum dotis, id. Trin. 5, 2, 34.—Hence, of women, alicui sponsam esse, to be betrothed, engaged to a man:

    si volt Demipho Dare quantum ab hac accipio, quae sponsa est mihi,

    Ter. Phorm. 4, 3, 52:

    scis, sponsam mihi (esse)?

    id. Eun. 5, 9 (8), 6; Plaut. Trin. 2, 4, 101 sq.; 2, 4, 172; 2, 4, 174; id. Poen. 5, 3, 43.—
    D.
    = sponsionem facere (v. sponsio, II.), to lay a judicial wager, to enter into an agreement to pay contingent on the truth or falsity of an assertion: si hoc ita est, qui spondet mille nummūm? P. Afric. ap. Gell. 6 (7), 11, 9.— So, absol.:

    cum illi jacenti latera tunderentur, ut aliquando spondere se diceret,

    should declare that he made the required wager, Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 54, § 142 (cf. sponsum, P. a. fin. infra); Dig. 11, 5, 3.—
    II.
    In gen., to promise sacredly, to warrant, vow (class.).
    1.
    With fut. inf.:

    promitto, recipio, spondeo, C. Caesarem talem semper fore civem, qualis hodie sit,

    id. 5, 3, 10:

    spondebant animis id (bellum) P. Cornelium finiturum,

    with full conviction, id. 28, 38, 9; cf. id. 3, 59, 3:

    sponde affore reges,

    Val. Fl. 3, 504.—
    2.
    With inf. pres., to warrant, give assurance of an existing fact:

    Cic. Fam. 13, 17, 2.—
    3.
    With acc. of thing (and often dat. pers.):
