τηλαυγῶς —
a NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (Mark 8:25 אc ABDW : δηλαυγῶς א*C), ";clearly though at a distance,"; ";clearly from afar."; The force of the word is well brought out in a magical formula, P Oxy VI. 886 (iii/A.D.), which, after various directions for obtaining an omen, ends .24 χρημαθισθήσῃ (l. χρηματισθήσῃ) τ ̣ηλαυγῶς, ";you will obtain an illuminating answer"; (Edd.). See also s.v. δηλαυγῶς below. For adj. τηλαυγής cf. Bacchyl. XVI. 5, also Vett. Val. p. 54.8 τοῦτον τὸν τόπον οἱ παλαιοὶ μυστικῶς καὶ σκοτεινῶς διέγραψαν, ἡμεῖς δὲ τηλαυγέστερον. According to Moulton Gr. ii, p. 283 the meaning is ";far-shining"; or ";far-discerned,"; ";according as αὐγή or αὐγάζω is to guide our interpretation of the second part.";
δηλαυγῶς —
the reading of א*C(L) Δ in Mark 8:25, is found in the Mithrasliturgie, p. 18.8 acc. to the Paris papyrus : ἐὰν δέ ἄλλῳ θέλῃς δεικνύειν, ἔχε τῆς καλουμένης βοτάνης κεντριδίδος χυλὸν περιχρίων τὴν ὄψιν οὗ βούλει μετὰ ῥοδίνου, καὶ ὄψεται δηλαυγῶς ὥστε σε θαυμάζειν. The τηλαυγῶς in Dieterich’s text is only an emendation—as it is very probably in אc.ABDNWω in Mk l.c., since τηλ. is the commoner word. (Hesychius and Democritus in Grimm should have sufficed to prevent Lagrange from denying the existence of δηλ.)
