Septuagint Septuagint Dear colleagues,there is a minor textcritical issue related to 2Peter 2:22 where most andthe best of the witnesses read το ιδιον EXERAMAHowever, there is quite a number of minuscules together with Codex Bezae whoattestTON ιδιον εχερασμα[α third alternative is τον ιδιον εμετον in some minuscules and presented bysome fathers, which is no problem to be explained].Well, the form εχερασμα has made me ponder for a while: where does itoriginate from? All my tools did not have a satisfying answer. Definitely,εχεραμα derived from εχ+εραω, is very rare (Disc. de venen. 19).Furthermore, there is εχερασισ, –εωσ (vomiting; Eust. 1856.5) which mighthelp to find out more about εχερασμα. But no matter how ι try ι cannot bringEXERASMA in a clear etymological or morpholical line to explain itsformation.Of course, there is the same root to count on. Maybe, the scribes made amistake (ι doubt that because of the features of the several witnesses) orthey mixed up paradigmata of word formation from εχ+εραω to εχερασμα then.But how?ι welcome any comment on that. Up to now ι have not found any other usage ofEXERASMA in literal texts, inscriptions, or documentary papyri.Thomas ψ. Kraus (in need of help)–Dr. Thomas ψ.

Insertion of sigma.–Between root (or stem) and suffix s is oftenfound, and in some cases it has become attached to the suffix. Thisparasitic letter spread from the perfect middle, where it is properly inplace only in stems in t, d, th, or s; as in schi-s-mo-s cleaving with sfrom e-schi-s-mai by analogy to e-schis-tai for e-schid-tai (schizôcleave). In -s-tês the transference was made easier by words like schis-toscloven for schid-tos. This s appears before many suffixes, and usuallywhere the perfect middle has acquired it (489).ma: spa-s-ma spasm (spaô rend, espasmai), keleu-s-ma command (keleu-ôcommand, kekeleusmai), mia-s-ma stain (miainô stain, memiasmai).–mo:spa-s-mos spa-s-ma, keleu-s-mos command.–mê: du-s-mê setting (du_ôset).–tês: keleus-tês signal-man, orchê-s-tês dancer (orch-e-omai dance),duna-s-tês lord (duna-mai am able). Also in dra-s-têrios efficacious (dra-ôdo), orchê-s-tra_ dancing-place, plê-s-monê fulness. -s-m has displaced dm,-th-m (832) in osmê odour (earlier odmê), rhu-s-mos (and rhu-th-mos) rhythm.– Carl ω.

The σ before a suffix starting with μ or θ is called an epentheticS, i.e., used to smooth the pronunciation of the word. In some cases, atleast, the transformation of a verb to a noun by adding the suffix μα,ματοσ makes the noun refer to the thing done, hence the verb εχεραω (toeject, vomit) with the addition (σ)μα refers to that which is ejected.It seems ι remember Carl talking last week about the addition of σ in suchcases. ι haven’t had time to check. My wife says that ι can’t rememberpeople unless they lived 2000 years ago. ι hope that’s not medically significant.Carlton WinberyLouisiana College
