② pert. to being thrust on divine resources, poor. At times the ref. is not only to the unfavorable circumstances of these people from an economic point of view; the thought is also that since they are oppressed and disillusioned they are in special need of God’s help, and may be expected to receive it shortly (cp. Od. 6, 207f πρὸς γὰρ Διός εἰσιν ἅπαντες ξεῖνοί τε πτωχοί τε=all strangers and needy persons are wards of Zeus; LXX; HBruppacher, D. Beurteilung d. Armut im AT 1924; WSattler, D.

NT I, ’66, 13; LKeck, The Poor among the Saints in Jewish Christianity and Qumran, ZNW 57, ’66, 54–78; add. lit. Betz, SM 111). The ‘messenger’ of the church at Laodicea, who says of himself πλούσιός εἰμι καὶ πεπλούτηκα, is termed πτωχός Rv 3:17. In 1 Cl 15:6, Ps 11:6 is quoted w. ref. to the situation in the Corinthian church.

④ pert. to being extremely inferior in quality, miserable, shabby (Dionys. Hal., Comp. Verb. 4 νοήματα; Iren. 2, 33, 5 [Hv I, 380, 2] of God οὐ … π. οὐδὲ ἄπορος) of the στοιχεῖα (w. ἀσθενής) Gal 4:9.

Ath. 11, 472e; diff. Leumann Hom. Wörter 271); τὰ Ἴσθμια name of the Corinthian games (Pi., Simon., Ar.) with Ίσθμιο-νίκης, - νικος `winner at the Ἴ.' (B.), Ίσθμιασταί `spectators of the Ἴ.' (title of a play of A.; like Άπολλωνιασταί a. o., Chantraine Formation 317; ἰσθμιάζω Suid., H.), also Ίσθμιᾶται (Delos II<sup>a</sup>); ἰσθμικός, - ιακός `belonging to the Isthmos, the Isthmia ' (Ar., Str.), ἰσθμώδης `isthmos-like' (Th.). - The denominative ἰσθμαίνω = ἀσθμαίνω with ἴσθμα = ἄσθμα H. arose through cross of ἰσθμός with ἀσθμαίνω.

Etymology: Perh. from εἶμι `go' with θμο-suffix, cf. the byform Ίθμός, Ίθμο-νίκα (inscr.) and ἴ-θμα, εἰσ-ί-θμη; on the meaning cf. ONord. eið n. `strait of land', IE * oi-dho- (or * oi-to-).

Also πρός τινα (TestAbr A 15 p. 96, 7 [Stone p. 40]) Lk 22:70; Ac 10:28; 16:37; 26:1.—Used w. a ptc. to denote the nature of the statement ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος ἔφη• κύριε … Mt 8:8. Cp. Lk 23:3, 40.

β. inserted after the first word or words of the direct discourse (Oenomaus in Eus., PE 6, 7, 8 ἀγγελῶ, νὴ Δία, φήσει τις, …; TestJob 34:4; JosAs 24:8; Just., D. 1, 3) δός μοι, φησίν, ὧδε … Mt 14:8. ποίας; φησίν 19:18 v.l. Cp. Lk 7:40 (here φησίν stands at the close of a direct quot. consisting of only two words; cp. Just., D. 3, 7 οὐ γάρ, φημί); Ac 2:38 v.l.; 23:35; 25:5, 22; 26:25. ὡς ἔφην Papias (2:15) (ApcMos 42).

ⓒ without a subj., where it is self-evident ὅρα γάρ φησιν ποιήσεις πάντα for see to it, (God) says (Ex 25:40; Just., D. 126, 6; Mel., P. 12, 78; Ath. 32, 1), you must make everything Hb 8:5. But φησίν is also used impersonally, it is said, so that it can also go w. a plural subject that makes a statement (cp. Demosth. 23, 31; ViJer 8 [p. 72, 12 Sch.]; Epict., Enchir. 24, 2; Maximus Tyr. 5, 4a) αἱ ἐπιστολαὶ μέν, φησίν, βαρεῖαι 2 Cor 10:10 (the subject of this statement is the opposition to Paul in the Corinthian church; hence the v.l. φασίν). οὐ δεῖν, φησίν (i.e. gnostics) προφήταις χρῆσθαι AcPlCor 1:10. W. scripture quotations φησίν it says (φησίν abs. w. a quot. fr. Aratus: Synes., Prov. 2, 5 p. 125a) 1 Cor 6:16; 1 Cl 30:2; 2 Cl 7:6; B 7:7.

ⓓ φησίν, in introducing scripture quot., can be pred. to a wide variety of subjects (cp. φησὶν ὁ λόγος Pla., Phil. 51c; Maximus Tyr. 22, 5b; Just., D. 93, 3) φησὶν ὁ ἅγιος λόγος 1 Cl 13:3. (τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον) 16:2. αὐτός (=ὁ κύριος) φησιν 16:15. ὁ θεός 33:5. ὁ ἐκλεκτὸς Δαυίδ 52:2.

② to say someth. that provides a fuller explanation of a statement, mean by one’s statement (Artem. 1, 67 p. 62, 16 φημὶ δὲ ἐγώ=but I mean), w. acc.

① to put someth. beyond doubt, confirm, establish, τὸν λόγον confirm the preaching Mk 16:20 (Ael. Aristid. 25, 64 K.= 43 p. 821 D., τὸν λόγον; Sextus 177 τ. λόγους. Cp. Epict. 2, 18, 32 τότε βεβαιώσεις τὸ τοῦ Ἡσιόδου ὅτι ἀληθές ἐστιν Iren. 4, 18, 5 [Harv. II 205, 3] τὴν γνώμην). τὰς ἐπαγγελίας prove the promises reliable, fulfill (them) Ro 15:8 (cp. Polyb. 3, 111, 10 βεβαιώσειν ἡμῖν πέπεισμαι τὰς ἐπαγγελίας; Diod S 1, 5, 3; IPriene 123, 9 ἐβεβαίωσεν τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν). Of faith ταῦτα πάντα βεβαιοῖ 1 Cl 22:1.—Pass. τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐβεβαιώθη ἐν ὑμῖν our attestation of Christ was ratified in you 1 Cor 1:6 (i.e. Paul’s proclamation concerning God’s beneficence displayed in Christ was validated by the gifts evident in the Corinthian congregation, vs. 7). (ἡ σωτηρία) εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐβεβαιώθη the saving message was guaranteed to us Hb 2:3 (as of someth. legally validated; cp. Ael. Aristid. 46 p. 288 D.: σωτηρίαν β. τινι; POxy 1119, 17; β. is also legal t.t. to designate properly guaranteed security: PFay 92, 19; POxy 899; 1036; s. Dssm., B 100ff [BS 104ff] and s. βεβαίωσις). For Hb 13:9 s. below.

② to make a pers. firm in commitment, establish, strengthen (cp. Ps 40:13; 118:28) ὁ βεβαιῶν ἡμᾶς εἰς Χριστόν the one who strengthens us in Christ=makes us faithful disciples 2 Cor 1:21 (EDinkler, OCullmann Festschr., ’62, 177–80: baptismal terminology). ὸ̔ς καὶ βεβαιώσει ὑμᾶς ἀνεγκλήτους who will strengthen you, so that you are blameless 1 Cor 1:8. Pass. be confirmed in faith Col 2:7; in instruction IMg 13:1. Hb 13:9 make firm, strengthen belongs here, since the imagery of a heart made firm is semantically equivalent in ancient culture to inward strengthening of the pers.—M-M. TW. Spicq.

Derivatives: ἀσκληπιάς f. name of a plant (Dsc; s. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 99).

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

Etymology: Unexplained. H. Grégoire (with R. Goossens and M. Mathieu) in Asklèpios, Apollon Smintheus et Rudra 1949 (Mém. Acad. Roy. de Belgique. Cl. d. lettres. 2. sér. 45), explains the name as `the mole-hero', connecting σκάλοψ, ἀσπάλαξ `mole' and refers to the resemblance of the Tholos in Epidauros and the building of a mole. (Thus Puhvel, Comp. Mythol.1987, 135.) But the variants of Asklepios and those of the word for `mole' do not agree. - The name is typical for Pre-Greek words; apart from minor variations (β for π, αλ(α) for λα) we find α\/αι (a well known variation; Fur. 335 - 339) followed by - γλαπ- or - σκλαπ-\/- σχλαπ\/β-, i.e. a voiced velar (without - σ-) or a voiceless velar (or an aspirated one: we know that there was no distinction between the three in the substr. language) with a - σ-. I think that the - σ- renders an original affricate, which (prob. as δ) was lost before the - γ- (in Greek the group - σγ- is rare, and certainly before another consonant); this affricate will have been palatal (i.e. c<sup>y</sup>), of which the palatal character was (sometimes) expressed with a (preceding, or following) ι, for which see on ἐξαίφνης, ἐξαπίνης and πινυτός \/ πνυτός. S. Beekes Pre-Greek. - Szemerényi's etymology ( JHS 94, 1974, 155) from Hitt. assula(a)- `well-being' and piya- `give' cannot be correct, as it does not explain the velar.
