ἀφοσιομενο, “just saying, ‘God forgive me;’ just doing enough to come without scruple.” Vid. Suicer in verb. who quotes St. Chrys. on Ps. 41. “Let us not come in hither anyhow nor make our responses ἀφοσιομενοι, just well enough to keep off a curse” (i. 617, Sav.) Also Hom. XXIX. on Acts, t. iv. p. 777. “How may one form a judgment of a church? If we go away daily with some profit, great or small, not simply satisfying a rule and ἀφοσιομενοι, quitting ourselves of a scruple.” Again, ibid. “What we do, is turned into a mere regulation and ἀφοσωσι, a formal deprecation of a curse.” Cf. Isæus de Appollodori Hered. p. 185. Ed. Reiske, “not ἀφοσιομενο, but preparing himself as well as possible.”
