Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04000600700008'], 'Content': 'βατταλογέω in the sense of ‘to babble’ or ‘to utter senseless sounds’ is treated in {D:33.89}. The justification for βατταλογέω in the sense of ‘to speak much’ is probably to be found in the context of {S:04000600700008}, where the term πολυλογία ({D:33.87}) appears to be an explanation of the meaning of βατταλογέω.'}
