[Meaning] prophecies. Also a term for apophthegms [coming] from one's own heart.
Lêmata: prophêteiai. legetai de kai ta ex oikeias kardias apophthegmata.
Same entry elsewhere: see the references at
Photius lambda265 Theodoridis. The neuter plural headword should be
lh/mmata "premisses, sayings". (On this difference of spelling cf. Alexander of
Aphrodisias, under
lambda 441.)
The "prophecy" meaning is LSJ s.v.
lh=mma IV, "burden or commission of prophecy", exemplified by several passages in the
Septuagint; and as Theodoridis notes, the lexicographers' plural is likely to be quoted from
Lamentations 2:14.
