    Comments: In {S:04601301200014} the term αἴνιγμα may be interpreted as lack of clarity in perception, so that the meaning would be ‘that which is difficult to see clearly,’ but the general usage of αἴνιγμα would seem to point to the meaning of difficulty in understanding and comprehension rather than in visual perception. For another interpretation of αἴνιγμα in {S:04601301200014}, see {D:24.37}.
