1 κρητήρ
κρητήρ, ῆρος ( κεράννῦμι): mixingbowl, wassail-bowl, in which wine and water were mingled, to be distributed in cups; two parts of wine to three of water was a common mixture; κρητῆρα μίσγεσθαι, στήσασθαι, ‘set up,’ place at hand. The wassail-bowl was usually placed near the hearth, and often on a tripod (esp. when several κρητῆρες were in use at the banquet); the contents were poured into the cups ( δέπαα) by means of a filler ( πρόχοος, pitcher), Od. 3.339. Cut No. 8 shows (1) the ἀμφιφορεύς, from which the wine was poured into the upper, smaller mixing-bowl, on which the πρόχοος stands. The second mixing-bowl served to contain the water, and then the contents of both bowls may be imagined as mixed in the largest bowl, which stands upon the tripod, and from which the diluted wine was distributed.

3 ἐξίστημι
ἐξίστημι w. the Koine by-form ἐξιστάνω (B-D-F §93; Mlt-H. 241) Ac 8:9 (v.l. ἐξιστῶν fr. ἐξιστάω) fut. ἐκστησώ LXX; 1 aor. ἐξέστησα; 2 aor. ἐξέστην; pf. ἐξέστακα, ptc. [intr.] ἐξεστώς (Judg 4:21 B) and ἐξεστηκυῖα 1 Km 4:13; plpf. 2 sg. ἐξεστηκεῖς (TestJob 39:13). Mid.: impf. ἐξιστάμην; pf. ἐξίσταμαι. Pass.: aor. 3 sg. ἐξεστάθη (Judg 5:4 A). In both trans. and intr. usage the main idea is involvement in a state or condition of consternation.① trans.: primary sense ‘change, displace’ (Aristot. et al.; Just., D. 67, 3 οὐκ ἐκστήσετε με τῶν προκειμένων ‘you won’t budge me from my position on these matters’) then to cause to be in a state in which things seem to make little or no sense, confuse, amaze, astound (so oft. w. added words τινὰ φρενῶν Eur., Bacch. 850; τινὰ τοῦ φρονεῖν X., Mem. 1, 3, 12; τινὰ ταῖς διανοίαις Polyb. 11, 27, 7, but also w. simple acc., as in the foll.) τινά someone (Musonius p. 35, 12 τὰ ἐξιστάντα τοὺς ἀνθρώπους; Lucian, Dom. 19; Stob., Ecl. III 517, 15 οἶνος ἐξέστησέ με; Josh 10:10; Judg 4:15; 2 Km 22:15 al.; Jos., Bell. 3, 74; TestBenj 3:3 v.l.; Hippol., Ref. 6, 40, 2; 9, 11, 1) Lk 24:22. Of a sorcerer τὸ ἔθνος τῆς Σαμαρείας Ac 8:9, 11.② intr. (2 aor. and pf. act.; all of the mid.). Out of the sense ‘to become separated from someth. or lose someth.’ (Empedocles et al.) emerges the psychological sense (the only sense of the intr. in our lit.; for physical disturbance s. TestZeb 2:5; cp. Orig., C. Cels. 3, 70, 20) be out of one’s normal state of mind.ⓐ of inability to reason normally lose one’s mind, be out of one’s senses (so Eur. [e.g. Bacch. 359 al. in the sense ‘step out of one’s mind’ VLeinieks, The City of Dionysos ’96, 111], Isocr. et al., mostly [as Jos., Ant. 10, 114] w. τῶν φρενῶν, τοῦ φρονεῖν, or sim. addition. Without such addition e.g. Aristot., HA 6, 22 p. 577a, 12 ἐξίσταται καὶ μαίνεται; Menand., Sam. 279 S. [64 Kö.] ἐξέστηχʼ ὅλως; Dio Chrys. 80 [30], 6; Is 28:7; TestJob 35f and 39; Philo, Ebr. 146; Orig., C. Cels. 7, 4, 14 [of the Pythia]; Did., Gen. 230, 14) ἔλεγον ὅτι ἐξέστη they said, ‘He has lost his senses’ Mk 3:21 (cp. Irish Eccl. Record 64, ’44, 289–312; 65, ’45, 1–5; 6–15; JSteinmueller, CBQ 4, ’42, 355–59; HWansbrough, NTS 18, ’71/72, 233–35; lit. also on παρά A 3b end). Prob. ironical εἴτε ἐξέστημεν… εἴτε σωφρονοῦμεν if we were out of our senses …; if we are in our right mind 2 Cor 5:13 (CBruston, RTQR 18, 1908, 344ff). But more freq. in our lit. is the weakened senseⓑ be amazed, be astonished, of the feeling of astonishment mingled w. fear, caused by events which are miraculous, extraordinary, or difficult to understand (Philippides Com. [IV/III B.C.] Fgm. 27 K. ἐγὼ ἐξέστην ἰδών=I was astounded when I saw [the costly vessels]; Gen 43:33; Ruth 3:8; 1 Km 14:15 al.; ApcSed 10:6; cp. Iren. 1, 2, 3 [Harv. I 17, 11]) MPol 12:1. ἐξίσταντο πάντες οἱ ὄχλοι (cp. Ex 19:18; Lev 9:24) Mt 12:23; cp. Mk 2:12. ἐξέστησαν ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ (cp. Gen 27:33) they were utterly astonished 5:42. λίαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἐξίσταντο they were utterly astounded within them 6:51.—Lk 8:56; Ac 2:7 (w. θαυμάζω), 12 (w. διαποροῦμαι); 8:13; 9:21; 10:45 (w. ὅτι foll.); 12:16. ἐξίσταντο ἐπὶ τῇ συνέσει αὐτοῦ they were amazed at his intelligence Lk 2:47 (ἐπί τινι as Wsd 5:2; Hos 3:5). Of heaven B 11:2 (Jer 2:12). (S. ἴστημι).—M-M. EDNT. TW. Spicq. -
