Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It would also be possible to classify μάγος in Domain 28 Know, in view of the highly specialized knowledge involved. Because of the religious implications of the role of a μάγος, this term is also classified under Domain 53 Religious Activities (see {D:53.97}). But the dominant semantic feature of μάγος a would seem to be reputed wisdom, and therefore it is treated in this domain, Understand (32).'}
