ὁροθεσία [page 459]
Act_17:26 has hitherto been regarded as the only instance from Biblical or profane Greek of this compound = boundary (cf. Winer-Schmiedel Gr. p. 22), but it is now found in a closely allied sense in Priene 42 ii. 8 (after B.C. 133) δικαίαν εἶναι ἔκριναν τὴν ] Ῥωδίως κρίσιν τε καὶ ὁροθεσίαν , ils dιcidθrent que le jugement des Rhodiens et leur dιlimitation ιtaient ιquitables (Fouillac Recherches , p. 37).
