- ἐπινομή
- ἐπινομή, ῆς, ἡ (elsewh. only in the mngs. ‘spread’ of fire, etc. [Plut., Alex. 685 (35, 4); Aelian, NA 12, 32], ‘pasturage’ [pap, s. νομή], and in medical wr. ‘final turns of a bandage’) μεταξὺ ἐπινομὴν δεδώκασιν (v.l. ἔδωκαν) prob. rule 1 Cl 44:2 afterward they laid down a rule. This takes for granted that ἐπινομή, which is the rdg. of the Codex Alexandr., is derived fr. ἐπινέμω ‘distribute’, ‘allot’ (s. Knopf, Hdb. ad loc.; also KLake ad loc., who compares ἐπινομίς, ‘supplement, codicil’). The Latin translator (who rendered it ‘legem’) seems to have read and understood it so. The later Gk. ms. has ἐπιδομήν. The Syriac presupposes ἐπὶ δοκιμήν; the Coptic is as much at a loss as many modern interpreters admittedly are. Lghtf. proposes ἐπιμονήν. S. also RSohm, Kirchenrecht 1892 p. 82, 4.—DELG s.v. νέμω.
