Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For ὅρασις = ";seeing,"; ";the act of sight,"; cf. Wünsch AF 4.26 (iii/A.D.) ὁρκίζω σε τὸν θεὸν τὸν τὴν ὅρασιν παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ χαρισάμενον, P Lond 46.147 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 70) ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἀκέφαλος δαίμων ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν ἔχω (ν) τὴν ὅρασιν, and the dedicatory Syll 774 (= .3 1141).2 (Imperial) ἀγαθῇ τύχῃ. Στρατία ὑπὲρ τῆς ὁράσεως θεᾷ Δήμητρι δῶρον, an offering made by Stratia to the goddess Demeter on account of restored sight. For the meaning ";appearance,"; as in Revelation 4:3, cf. P Leid Wxiii. 36 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 127) ὁ μεταμορφούμενος ἐν ταῖς ὁράσεσιν. A curious use of the word occurs in OGIS 56.56 (B.C. 237), where it is employed as a title of the daughter-goddess of the Sun—ὅρασιν αὐτοῦ, i.e. ";oculum Soils"; (see Dittenberger’s note). In an inscr. in C. and B. ii. p. 653, No. 564, we find εἰς ὅρασιν καὶ εἰς ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῷ καὶ εἰς τέκνα καὶ εἰς βίον, ";sight, body, children, life,"; all of which are to feel the κατάραι ὅσε ἀνγεγραμμένα [ι ἰ ]σίν if the tomb is disturbed. Ramsay thinks the curses are Jewish. For ὁρασείας = ὁράσεις in the sense of ";visions"; (as in Acts 2:17) see P Strass I. 35.5 (iv/A.D.) with the editor’s note. The word, which survives in MGr, was commonly used by the Church Fathers to denote the ";visions"; of the monks.
