ἀνωμαλία. [232] 19. Unevenness. Lat. inaequalitas. Fr. inégalité.
ἀξίωμα. [84] 1, [120] 23, [170] 2, [174] 19. Dignity. Lat. dignitas. Fr. dignité. In [96] 16 the sense is a proposition (pronuntiatum, Cic. Tusc. i. 7. 14; enuntiatio, Cic. de Fato 10. 20).—The adjective ἀξιωματικός (‘dignified’) occurs in [136] 11, [168] 6, etc., and the adverb ἀξιωματικῶς in [176] 24.—In [88] 13, [186] 7, ἀξίωσις = reputation, excellence.
ἀπαγγελία. [204] 18. Narration. Lat. narratio. Sometimes the word is used, like ἑρμηνεία, of style (elocutio) in general: cp. de Demosth. c. 25, and Chrysostom (in a passage which, as revealing the pupil of Libanius and as illustrating many things in the C.V., may be quoted at some length): ἐγὼ δὲ εἰ μὲν τὴν λειότητα Ἰσοκράτους ἀπῄτουν, καὶ τὸν Δημοσθένους ὄγκον, καὶ τὴν Θουκυδίδου σεμνότητα, καὶ τὸ Πλάτωνος ὕψος, ἔδει φέρειν εἰς μέσον ταύτην τοῦ Παύλου τὴν μαρτυρίαν. νῦν δὲ ἐκεῖνα μὲν πάντα ἀφίημι, καὶ τὸν περίεργον τῶν ἔξωθεν καλλωπισμόν, καὶ οὐδέν μοι φράσεως, οὐδὲ ἀπαγγελίας μέλει· ἀλλ’ ἐξέστω καὶ τῆ λέξει πτωχεύειν, καὶ τὴν συνθήκην τῶν ὀνομάτων ἁπλῆν τινα εἶναι καὶ ἀσφαλῆ, μόνον μὴ τῇ γνώσει τις καὶ τῇ τῶν δογμάτων ἀκριβείᾳ ἰδιώτης ἔστω (de Sacerdotio iv. 6).—The verb ἀπαγγέλλειν occurs in [200] 9, 11.
ἀπαρέμφατος. [102] 20. Infinitive. Lat. infinitivus (sc. modus). [The infinitive, unlike the indicative and other moods, does not indicate difference of meaning by means of inflexions denoting number and person. Whence the Greek name: cp. παρεμφατικός, p. [315] infra.]
ἀπαριθμεῖν. [268] 8. To recount, to run over. Lat. percensere.
ἀπαρτίζειν. [194] 16. To round off, to complete. Lat. adaequare, absolvere. Cp. de Demosth. c. 50 καὶ μέτρα τὰ μὲν ἀπηρτισμένα καὶ τέλεια, τὰ δ’ ἀτελῆ: Ev. Luc. xiv. 28 τίς γὰρ ἐξ ὑμῶν, θέλων πύργον οἰκοδομῆσαι, οὐχὶ πρῶτον καθίσας ψηφίζει τὴν δαπάνην, εἰ ἔχει τὰ πρὸς ἀπαρτισμόν (completion); So κατὰ ἀπαρτισμόν, in [246] 18, means completely, absolutely, narrowly. In Classical Review xxiii. 82, the present writer has suggested that κατὰ ἀπαρτισμόν are the words missing in Oxyrhynchus Papyri vi. 116, where Grenfell and Hunt give ἐν πλάτει καὶ οὐ κ[.............]ν. θεωρητέα ἐστίν, or the like, may have preceded: cp. [152] 26 supra (and note).
ἀπαρχαί. [76] 2. Firstfruits. Lat. primitiae. Used here in connexion with the verb προχειρισάμενος, cum delibavero.
ἀπατηλός. [236] 10. Seductive. Lat. suavis et oblectans, illecebrosus.
ἀπερίγραφος. [232] 4. Not circumscribed. Lat. nullis limitibus circumscriptus.
