         DefinitionShort: a wreath consisting either of foliage or of precious metals formed to resemble foliage and worn as a symbol of honor, victory, or as a badge of high office

         Glosses: ['wreath', 'crown']

         Comments: It may be important in some contexts to indicate clearly the significance of the wreath worn on the head, for example, ‘a wreath to show victory.’ To describe ‘a wreath’ merely as ‘a circle of leaves’ would hardly be sufficient to indicate its cultural significance. In order to do justice to the cultural relevance of such a wreath, it may be important to add some type of marginal note (compare {L:διάδημα} ‘diadem crown,’ {D:6.196}).

         DefinitionShort: a prize or reward given as the result of outstanding performance

         Glosses: ['prize', 'reward']

         Comments: In {S:06600201000060} the relationship between τὸν στέφανον and τῆς ζωῆς is one of apposition, for the prize consists of life. Essentially the same relationship exists in the construction ἀπόκειταί μοι ὁ τῆς δικαιοσύνης στέφανος ‘the prize of righteousness awaits me’ {S:05500400800014}. In this case the prize is ‘being declared righteous’ or ‘being put right with God.’
