Adler number: alpha,4639
Translated headword: we make atonement, we fulfill (an obligation), we do (something) for form's sake
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] we perform something holy, of course.[1] Also [sc. attested is the related participle] a)fosiou/menos ["fulfilling"], [meaning he] completing, performing the rite. "But fulfilling the oath of the eparchos he contrived as follows."[2]
Also [sc. attested is the plural] a)fosiou/menoi, meaning honoring.[3]
Or performing something holy and pure and due. Because of this we say the rite for those who have passed away; that is, we owe nothing more to them, we are free from liability. Thus it is the custom for us to say both a)fosiw/sasqai ["that we have fulfilled"] and so many things of this kind, that is, "I am free from liability".[4]
Also[5] [sc. attested is] a)fosiw=, meaning I cleanse, I purify; Aeschines [sc. uses the word].[6]
Not to do something completely, but, for example, to lead on or pretend; Isaeus says [this].[7]
Also [sc. attested is] a)fosiw/sas ["having fulfilled"], [meaning he] having cleansed, or having entertained; or performing the rite, that is, a funeral, or the remembrance at death.[8]
Also [sc. attested is the aorist infinitive] a)fosiw=sai ["to fulfill"], [meaning] to cleanse.
Also [sc. attested is the future] a)fosiw/setai ["will fulfill"], [meaning] will offer first-fruits.
Also [sc. attested is the infinitive] a)fosiou=sqai, [meaning] to sanctify rites, and not to overdo it or be [over-]ambitious. But hosia ["holy things"] is the name for groats drenched with oil and wine; and [things which are] proper and just.
Also [sc. attested is the noun] a)fosi/wsis ["fulfilment"], [meaning] an offering.
Also [sc. attested is the participle] a)fosiwsa/menoi ["having fulfilled"], [meaning they] having set right.
Also [sc. attested is] a)fosiw/menoi ["fulfilling"], [meaning they] honoring, or offering first-fruits.
"As he perceived clearly that Isidore was brushing him off and only going through the motions, he went away and left and no longer approached [him]."[9]
