    DefinitionShort: an extraordinary degree, involving a considerable excess over what would be expected (this series differs from the series in {D:78.31} primarily in emphasizing the excessive degree)
    Glosses: ['extreme', 'extremely', 'to an extreme degree', 'to a very great degree']
    Comments: In order that something of the irony of the phrase τῶν ὑπερλίαν ἀποστόλων ({S:04701100500012}) may be indicated, one may wish to follow the example of Today’s English Version and translate “I do not think that I am the least bit inferior to those very special so-called ‘apostles’ of yours!”
