ὅρασις [page 455] For ὅρασις = seeing, the act of sight, cf. Wόnsch AF 4 .26 (iii/A.D.) ὁρκίζω σε τὸν θεὸν τὸν τὴν ὅρασιν παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ χαρισάμενον , P Lond 46 .147 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 70) ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἀκέφαλος δαίμων ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν ἔχω (ν ) τὴν ὅρασιν , and the dedicatory Syll 774 (= .3 1141) .2 (Imperial) ἀγαθῇ τύχῃ . Στρατία ὑπὲρ τῆς ὁράσεως θεᾷ Δήμητρι δῶρον , an offering made by Stratia to the goddess Demeter on account of restored sight. For the meaning appearance, as in Rev_4:3 , cf. P Leid W xiii. 36 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 127) ὁ μεταμορφούμενος ἐν ταῖς ὁράσεσιν . A curious use of the word occurs in OGIS 56 .56 (B.C. 237), where it is employed as a title of the daughter-goddess of the Sun ὅρασιν αὐτοῦ , i.e. oculum Soils (see Dittenberger s note). In an inscr. in C. and B. ii. p. 653, No. 564, we find εἰς ὅρασιν καὶ εἰς ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῷ καὶ εἰς τέκνα καὶ εἰς βίον , sight, body, children, life, all of which are to feel the κατάραι ὅσε ἀνγεγραμμένα [ι ἰ ]σίν if the tomb is disturbed. Ramsay thinks the curses are Jewish. For ὁρασείας = ὁράσεις in the sense of visions (as in Act_2:17 ) see P Strass I. 35 .5 (iv/A.D.) with the editor s note. The word, which survives in MGr, was commonly used by the Church Fathers to denote the visions of the monks.
