         Comments: In some contexts it is not possible to distinguish readily between {L:τέρας}[b] ({D:76.7}), {L:δύναμις}[c] ({D:76.7}), and μεγαλεῖον, for all may refer to miraculous events, and in a number of instances these terms are used in pairs, primarily to emphasize rather than to distinguish different kinds of miraculous events. All of these expressions may indicate a supernatural component with important religious implications, especially since the performance of such miracles implies divine power.
