Notes: κατά[e] differs in meaning from μέσος[a], ἀνὰ μέσον[a],ἐντός[a], εν[b], μετά[h], εἰς[e], ἐπί[c], πρός[d], and παρά[b] (83.9: ἀνά / 83.9: εἰς / 83.9: ἐν / 83.9: ἐντός / 83.9: ἐπί / 83.9: μέσος / 83.9: μετά / 83.9: παρά / 83.9: πρός) in that the focus of meaning is upon distribution rather than upon inclusion within any defined area or set.; It is possible that κατά in OET ACT 27:5 refers to a position parallel with the coast and possibly involving a type of extension.; The difference in meaning between the set κατά[g], ἐπί[s], ἐν[s], ἐκ[k], and καθώς[d] and the set πότε, ποτέ[b], ὁπότε, ὅτε[a], and ὅταν[b] (67.30: ὁπότε / 67.30: ὅταν / 67.30: ὅτε / 67.30: ποτέ / 67.30: πότε) is largely a matter of class meanings, but there may be certain subtle rhetorical differences as well.; It would seem that the meanings of items in subdomains 70.1: ὅλως-70.4: ἀλήθεια / 70.4: ἐν / 70.4: κατά (ὅλως[b], ὄντως, ἀληθής[b], ἀληθινός[a], ἀληθῶς, and idioms with ἀλήθεια) do reflect certain subtle differences, but it is not at all easy to determine precisely how they differ.; It is possible to interpret κατ ἰδίαν as being primarily an element of setting, that is to say, without the presence of other persons, but in some contexts the focus seems to shift from setting to the fact that such events take place without the general knowledge of the public. Depending therefore upon the context, one may render κατ ἰδίαν by such expressions as without others knowing or without other people being present.

Definition: (with the genitive) a marker of a supernatural person or force called upon to guarantee the carrying out of an oath or vow

Notes: Depending upon the context, it may be necessary to be quite specific in some languages in marking the relations between swearing and the supernatural power invoked to guarantee the fulfillment of an oath. For example, in swearing that something is true, it may be necessary to translate ‘I swear that this is true and call upon God to punish me if it is not true,’ or if the swearing involves a promise, then one may translate ‘I promise to do this, but if I do not, may God punish me.’
