         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:θεραπεύω}[b] ‘to serve,’ {D:35.19}) a person who renders service

         Glosses: servant

         Comments: In rendering θεράπων, ὑπηρέτης, and διάκονος[a] in the sense of ‘servant,’ it is important to avoid a term which would be too specific, for example, ‘one who serves meals’ or ‘one who works around the house.’ It may, in fact, be necessary to use an expression which means essentially ‘helper.’
