         Comments: βασκαίνω[a] differs from {L:μαγεύω} to practice magic ({D:53.96}) in that the former involves the use of so-called black magic, but for a different interpretation of βασκαίνω in {S:04800300100012}, see {D:88.159}.

         DefinitionShort: to deceive a person by devious and crafty means, with the possibility of a religious connotation in view of the literal meaning ‘to bewitch’ (see {D:53.98})

         Glosses: ['to deceive', 'to bewitch', 'to beguile']

         Comments: It is also possible that {L:βασκαίνω} in {S:04800300100012} is to be understood literally in the sense of bewitching by means of black magic (see {D:53.98}).
