         DefinitionShort: a device used for trapping or snaring, principally birds

         Glosses: ['trap', 'snare']

         Comments: Since snares or traps for capturing birds are almost universal, there should be no difficulty involved in obtaining an appropriate term, though in the context of {S:04202103400000-04202103500000} the function of παγίς is figurative and clearly marked as a simile. It may be necessary in some instances to expand the simile somewhat as ‘as a snare is used to catch birds.’

         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:παγίς}[a] ‘trap,’ {D:6.23}) that which brings or is a means of sudden danger

         Glosses: ['danger', 'trap']

         Comments: Though in {S:05400600900018} παγίδα and ἐπιθυμίας πολλάς are syntactically coordinate, the semantic relationship involves dependency, since the danger consists of the many foolish and harmful desires. One could translate, therefore, ‘the danger of many foolish and harmful desires’ or ‘the danger of being trapped by many foolish and harmful desires.’ In this way, something of the literal as well as the figurative meaning of παγίς may be retained.

         DefinitionShort: (figurative extension of meaning of {L:παγίς}[a] ‘trap’ {D:6.23}) an instrument or means for gaining control, implying an element of surprise

         Glosses: ['means of control', 'way of trapping']

         Comments: In a number of languages, it is possible to reflect something of the figurative meaning of {L:παγίς} by translating the term as a verb, for example, ‘may they be caught and trapped at their feasts’ or ‘may their feasts snare and trap them’ (see {D:6.23} and {D:6.24}).
