Semantic domains: Quantity

Subdomains: Abundance, Excess, Sparing

Definition: pertaining to what is done in a limited, sparing manner and of negligible quantity or extent

Notes: In OET CO2 9:6 φειδομένως is obviously in contrast with the phrase ἐπ᾽ εὐλογίαις ‘abundantly’ (59.56: εὐλογία). It may, however, be necessary to indicate clearly the nature of that which is sown or reaped sparingly, for example, ‘the one who plants only a small amount of seed will have only a very small harvest.’
