I am working on the text to Gillespie's 111 Propositions and find he or an editor stuck a Greek word in the Latin edition at one point that is not in the English. Can anyone tell me what it means? I found one place via Google that matched it (at least by my guess) and it was a word in Ezekiel 48:8 from the Septuagint on a Korean site. Any ideas? What word is it supposed to represent in the original English text? I have linked graphics below. I guessed that the stacked letters at the end of the Greek represent "ou". Does the tilde equate as I have represented it? Sorry, no Greek scholar here.



The original English text is:
12. That the distinction of that twofold church censure was allowed also by antiquity, it may be sufficiently clear to him who will consult the sixty-first canon of the sixth general synod, with the annotations of Zonaras and Balsamon ....

The pic of the Latin is:



My attempt to get the Greek is:

It could mean "separate, take away, set apart, appoint"

That is according to BDAG 1340 page 158. According to the English translation provided it is possible. Hope it helps.

Chris,

My best guess is that this is the technical Greek term for excommunication. It likely is a noun that comes from the verb ἀφορίζω, which Liddel & Scott translate as:

That makes sense in the context of "the twofold censure of excommunication"

Thanks much Fred, Kenneth. Did I render the Greek correctly below?
