Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the use of δ. in Philippians 2:15 Lightfoot cites Epict. iii. 6. 8 οἱ μὴ παντάπασι διεστραμμένοι τῶν ἀνθρώπων (cf. i. 29. 3). Kennedy (EGT ad. l.) aptly compares the Scotch expression ";thrawn,"; ";having a twist"; in the inner nature. The subst. occurs in the vi/A.D. P Oxy VIII. 1165.5 where one advocate writes to another expostulating—διὰ τοὺς γεωργούς μου τοὺς ἐν τῷ Ἀμούλῃ ἐν τοιαύτῃ διαστροφῇ γενέσθαι, ";because my cultivators at Amoules have been put to such straits"; (Ed.).
