         Comments: The term ἀφεδρών occurs only in {S:04001501700032} and {S:04100701900030} and may be rendered in a number of languages as ‘place of defecation.’ In some languages, however, a reference to a toilet may seem inappropriate for the Scriptures, and it is possible to translate a passage such as {S:04001501700032} as ‘goes into the stomach and then passes on out.’ The meaning is thus clear without a specific reference to a latrine or toilet.
