UBS Greek Dictionary Article

Notes: The terms διάβολος and Σατανᾶς appear to function both as titles and as proper names. This results from the fact that the referent in each instance is unique. In the text of the Greek NT Σατανᾶς was traditionally written with an initial capital letter, while διάβολος was normally written with a lower case initial letter, except for the occurrences of Διάβολος in RV REV 12:9 · LV REV 12:9 · Read together REV 12:9 and RV REV 20:2 · LV REV 20:2 · Read together REV 20:2.

Definition: (a borrowing from Hebrew and Aramaic: a title for the Devil, literally: adversary) the principal supernatural evil being{N:001}

Notes: In a number of languages there is a well known proper name for the Devil as the chief of all demons. In other instances, however, he is given a descriptive name, for example, ‘the ruler of the evil spirits,’ ‘the chief of the demons,’ ‘the truly bad one,’ ‘the left-handed one’ (as the one who is opposed to all which is right or correct), ‘the no-good one,’ ‘the avaricious one.’ In some instances a term for the Devil may be highly idiomatic as, for example, ‘the barking one,’ a reference to the Devil’s presumed activity in animal guise.|Some translators have employed for ‘Devil’ the proper name Satan, but this is often not a satisfactory solution. In one language in West Africa, for example, the term Satan had already been borrowed but was understood in the sense of the culture hero of the people and not as a designation for the chief of demons.|See also RV REV 20:2 · LV REV 20:2 · Read together REV 20:2.
