δῐ-θάλασσος,
Att. δῐ-ττος [ θᾰ], ον,
I divided into two seas, of the Euxine, Str. 2.5.22, cf. D.P. 156; of the Atlantic, Str. 1.1.8.
II between two seas, where two seas meet, as is often the case off a headland, Acts 27:41; βραχέα καὶ διθάλαττα shallows and meetings of currents, in the Syrtes, D.Chr. 5.9.
διθάλασσος, διθάλασσον (δίς and θάλασσα)
1. resembling (or forming) two seas: thus of the Euxine Sea, Strabo 2, 5, 22; Dionysius Periegetes, 156.
2. lying between two seas, i. e. washed by the sea on both sides (Dio Chrysostom 5, p. 83): τόπος διθάλασσος, an isthmus or tongue of land, the extremity of which is covered by the waves, Acts 27:41; others understand here a projecting reef or bar against which the waves dash on both sides; in opposition cf. Meyer at the passage (In Clement. hom., p. 20, Dressel edition (Ep. Petr. ad Jacob. § 14), men ἀλογιστοι καί ἐνδοιαζοντες περί τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας ἐπαγγελματων are allegorically styled τόποι διθαλασσοι δέ καί θηριωδεις.)
