περιζώννυμι and περιζωννύω 1 aor. 3 sg. περιέζωσεν LXX. Mid.: 1 fut. περιζώσομαι; 1 aor. περιεζωσάμην, impv. περίζωσαι. Pass.: pf. ptc. περιεζωσμένος (since Theopompus [s. 2 below] and Aristoph; PFay 12, 20 [103 B.C.]; LXX; PsSol 2:20; TestJob 47, 6 and 11 al.; JosAs; Mel., P. 19, 134)

① to put a belt or sash around, gird about, act. (Jos., Ant. 6, 184) w. double acc. gird someone (about) with someth. (Ps 17:33, 40; 29:12; Sir 45:7). The pass. w. acc. of thing can be understood as a development of this be girded with someth. (Diod S 1, 72, 2 σινδόνας; 4 Km 3:21 ζώνην; PGM 5, 157 ὄφιν) περιεζωσμένον ζώνην χρυσᾶν with a gold belt around him Rv 1:13; cp. 15:6 (but s. 2b below). Certainly pass. is the abs. ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι let your waists or loins be well-girt Lk 12:35 (Ex 12:11; Philo, Sacr. Abel. 63). The abs. perf. ptc. can also be understood as a pass. in Hv 3, 8, 4; Hs 8, 4, 2; 9, 9, 5 and περιεζωσμέναι εὐπρεπῶς 9, 2, 4 (s. εὐπρεπῶς). But the passages in Rv and Hermas can also be taken as

ⓑ w. acc. of the thing girded about one gird oneself w. someth., bind someth. about oneself (Theopompus [s. above]; Aristoph., Pax 670; Plut., Rom. 27 [16, 4], Coriol. 217 [9, 3]; 2 Km 3:31; Is 3:24; Jer 4:8; PsSol 2:20; TestJob 47:11; JosAs 10:11 al.; Jos., Ant. 11, 177; Mel., P. 19, 134) περίζωσαι ὠμόλινον Hs 8, 4, 1a; cp. b.

Compounds: Often with prefix, δια-, ὑπο-, περι- a. o.

Derivatives: 1. ( διά-, περί-, ὑπό-, σύ-)ζῶμα (hell. also ζῶσμα; s. below and Schwyzer 523) `girdle, loin-cloth' (Il.) with περιζωμάτιον `id.' (hell.) and περιζωματίας `forming a girdle' (of erysipelas; Orib.). 2. ζώνη `girdle', also `waist' (Il.) with the dimin. ζώνιον (Ar., Arist.), - άριον (Comm. in Arist.); ζων-ιαῖος `with the size of a girdle' (Ath. Mech.; on the formation Chantraine Formation 49), ζωνῖτις `striped' ( καδμεία; Dsc.); περιζώνιον, - ίδιον `dagger worn on the girdle' (hell.). 3. ζωστήρ `life-girdle' (Il.; s. v. Wilamowitz Eur.

(ἄ-, εὔ- etc.) ζωστός `girded' (Hes.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [513] * ieh₃s- `gird'

Etymology: The verbal adjective ζωστός has an exact parallel in Av. yāsta-, Lith. júostas, IE * ieh₃s-tos. In Balto-Slavic we find yot-presents Lith. júosiu (inf. júosti), OCS. po-jašǫ (inf. - jasati) `gird', in Iranian a secondary formation ( aiwi-)yāŋhayeiti `id.' (IE *i̯eh₃seieti). A rest of the athematic root present perhaps in (Thess.) ζούσθω ζωννύσθω H.; it agrees with OLith. 3. sg. pres. juos-ti. There is no agreement for the nasal prssent ζώννυμι \< *ζώσ-νυ-μι (on the phonetics Schwyzer 282 and 312) outside Greek. - Further close agreements are ζῶμα (\< IE *i̯eh₃s-mn̥) and Lith. juosmuõ `loin-, life-girdle' (IE i̯eh₃s-mṓ[n]), ζώνη ( *i̯eh₃s-nā) and Russ.-Csl. po-jasnь `id.' (i̯ōs-ni-); cf. further Skt. rā́snā `girdle' for *yā́snā after raśanā́ `knot, gird' (Wackernagel KZ 46, 272 = Kl. Schr. 1, 290)?; cf. the Kafir forms in Morgenstierne NTS 15, 253 and 280; further Mayrhofer KZ 75. - Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. júosti.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `roll, band, girth' (Anon. ap. Suid.);

Compounds: as 1. member in κομβο-λύτης βαλαντιοτόμος H., κομβο-θηλεία f. `buckle' (sch.; from κόμβος θῆλυς [ θήλεια]); also κομπο-θηλαία `band, girth' (sch.) and κομπο-θήλυκα pl. (Hippiatr.; v. l. for πόρπακας) after κόμπος = `boast'(?).

Derivatives: κομβίον = περόνη (Eust., Sch.), κομβώσασθαι στολίσασθαι, κόμβωμα στόλισμα H., κομβώματα = καλλωπίσματα etc. (Suid., H.). Better attested is the hypostasis ἐγκομβόομαι `bind on, draw on' (Epich., hell. Com., 1 Ep. Pet. 5, 5) with ἐγκόμβωμα `protecting upper garment worn by slaves' (Longus, Thd.); further ἀνακομβόομαι `gird oneself' (Gp.).

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

Etymology: Technical word without certain explanation. One compares since Fick 1, 383; 3, 71, Zupitza Die germ. Gutt. 22f. on the one hand some Baltoch-Slavic words for `hang etc.', e. g. Lith. kabìnti `hang on, hook on', kìbti `hang on oneself, hook on', S.-Csl. skoba `fibula', Russ. skobá `iron hook, clamp', on the other Gr. σκαμβός `crooked (legs)', Σκόμβος PN (after Bechtel KZ 44, 358 "the limper"); further the isolated Norw. hempa `Kleiderstrippe, strap, handle' (can hardly be separated from hamp `hemp'). "Das Resultat dieser Vergleiche ist offenbar eine sowohl lautlich wie begrifflich wenig befriedigende Approximation." Frisk - Pok. 918, W.-Hofmann s. cambiō and campus, Vasmer s. skobá. - The IE connections are quite dubious. The forms κομβοθηλεία, κομποθηλαία, κομποθήλυκα clearly show a Pre-Greek word (a confusion of κόμβος with κόμπος is improbable, so the variation β\/π points to a Pre-Greek word; note also the variation - εια, - αια (and - υκα!), which we have seen more often in Pre-Greek (Beekes, Pre-Greek, suffixes sub - αι\/- ε(ι)). But does it contain the word κόμβος? The derivation of the second element from θῆλυς is clearly wrong.

ἀλήθεια, ας, ἡ (cp. λανθάνω ‘escape notice’ s. DELG s.v. λανθάνω; Schwyzer I 469; Hom. +) prim. ‘hiding nothing’.

IEph 6:2; πορεύεσθαι κατὰ τὴν ἀ. Pol 5:2; ἐν ἀ. (3 Km 2:4) Hm 3:4; gird oneself w. truth Eph 6:14; cp. Hm 11:4.—Truth expresses itself in virtues like righteousness and holiness, Eph 4:24 (Nicol. Dam.: 90 Fgm. 67, 1 Jac. δικαιοσύνην κ. ἀλ.). Hence it is contrasted w. ἀδικία 1 Cor 13:6; Ro 1:18; 2:8. In the last-named passage a negative attitude toward the truth is called ἀπειθεῖν τῇ ἀ. Also πλανᾶσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀ. wander from the truth Js 5:19; ἀστοχεῖν περὶ τὴν ἀ. 2 Ti 2:18; καταστρέφειν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀ. Hs 6, 2, 1, cp. 4; ἀποστρέφειν τὴν ἀκοὴν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀ. 2 Ti 4:4 opp. μῦθοι, cp. ἀποστρέφεσθαι Tit 1:14; ἀποστερεῖσθαι τῆς ἀ. 1 Ti 6:5; ἐρευνᾶν περὶ τῆς ἀ. make inquiries about the truth Hm 10, 1, 4; 6; ἀνθίστασθαι τῇ ἀ. oppose the truth (i.e. the gospel) 2 Ti 3:8. Opp. μῦθοι 4:4. Truth can be communicated (cp. Did., Gen. 86, 21): φανερώσει τῆς ἀ. by a clear statement of the truth 2 Cor 4:2 (sim. in later Christian prayer POxy 925, 4f φανέρωσόν μοι τὴν παρὰ σοὶ ἀλ.); is taught D 11:10; recognized 1 Ti 4:3; Hv 3, 6, 2; cp. ἐπίγνωσις τῆς ἀληθείας (Alex.

The Spirit leads into truth J 16:13; hence πνεῦμα τῆς ἀ. 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1J 4:6 (cp. Hm 3:4). πνεῦμα is identified w. ἀ. 1J 5:6; it is mediated through Christ J 1:17, who calls himself truth 14:6 (cp. PGM 5, 148 ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀλήθεια, on the other hand POxy 1380, 63 [early II A.D.] Isis is called ἀ.; Apollonaretal. Berl. Gr.

The truth sets one free J 8:32, but is not present in those who deny the fact of sin in their lives 1J 1:8 or do not heed Christ’s commands. Christ proclaims this truth: λέγειν (Jos., Ant. 10, 124) J 8:45f; 16:7; λαλεῖν 8:40 (also λαλεῖν ἐν ἀ. IEph 6:2); μαρτυρεῖν τῇ ἀ. 18:37.
