ῤίπτω and ῤιπτέω (ῤιπτούντων, Acts 22:23; on the different views with regard to the difference in meaning between these two forms see Passow, under the word ῤίπτω, at the end; (Veitch, under the word ῤίπτω, at the end Hermann held that ῥίπτειν differed from ῥίπτειν as Latinjactare fromjacere, hence, the former had a frequent. force (cf. Lob. Sophocles Aj., p. 177; Cope, Aristotle, rhet. vol. i., p. 91f); some of the old grammarians associate with ῥίπτειν a suggestion of earnestness or effort, others of contempt)); 1 aorist ἔρριψα G Tr, ἔρριψα R L, ἐριψα T WH (participle (Luke 4:33) ῤῖψαν R G Tr WH, better (cf.

for σηρικός, ";silken,"; is read by all uncials in Revelation 18:12 : cf. IG XIV. 785.4 σιρικοποιός, and IG III. ii. 3513.2 (v/A.D.) σιρικάριος. The adj. is formed from the name of the Indian (or Chinese) people from whom silk was first obtained—οἱ Σῆρες. Boisacq (p. 861 f. ) suggests that both the fabric and the tribe got their Greek names by popular etymology from the native name of the fabric.
