Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";reaching to the feet,"; the termination -ήρης being perhaps derived from the root of ἀραρίσκω, though this would rather suggest ";feet fitting."; The word is found in the NT only in Revelation 1:13 (cf. Proleg. p. 49); but to the LXX exx. we may add Aristeas 96 χρυσοῖ γὰρ κώδωνες περὶ τὸν ποδήρη εἰσὶν αὐτοῦ, ";for there are ‘bells of gold’ around the border of his ‘long robe’"; (Thackeray).
