Headword: *gelge/l
Adler number: gamma,103
Translated headword: Gelgel
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Thus] the wheel is called. So just as from a high mountain, when out of the Savior's mouth these words were uttered, they rolled over the inhabited world and ran across all of it like a wheel; and all were baptized throughout the nations and cities.[1]
Therefore Galilee is called "revolving" in the Greek language.[2]
Greek Original:

Notes:
The headword, transliterated from Hebrew, occurs at Ezechiel 10.13 LXX; in Hebrew הגלגל. The Hebrew root means "to roll".
[1] For this material see fr. 151 of Apollinaris' Commentary on Matthew (specifically on 28:16, where Galilee is mentioned).
