Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'πιότης occurs in non-biblical Greek in the figurative sense of ‘wealth and riches,’ and it may be that in {S:04501101700038} there is a blend of the conventional figurative meaning of ‘wealth’ with the more specific quality of fatness as exemplified by the fruit of the olive tree. See also {D:65.7} and footnote.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04501101700038'], 'Content': 'It is difficult to determine whether the expression συγκοινωνὸς τῆς ῥίζης τῆς πιότητος τῆς ἐλαίας in {S:04501101700038} should be interpreted merely as an instance of an extended figurative use of related terms, or whether πιότης should be understood in a metaphorical sense of ‘value’ or ‘wealth,’ which it had already acquired in secular literature. If πιότης is to be understood in a figurative sense, then one is likewise justified in regarding ῥίζα in the figurative sense of ‘tradition’ and ἐλαία in this context as being a direct reference to Judaism.'}]

         DefinitionShort: a nutritionally rich, fatty quality

         Glosses: ['fatness', 'rich quality']

         Comments: The text of {S:04501101700038} is strange, for literally it reads ‘of the root of the richness.’ As may be easily understood, a number of scribal variations occur in different manuscripts.|Since the reference in {S:04501101700038} is to the olive tree, the fruit of which produces so much oil, one can readily understand the basis for the extension of meaning. Some translations render πιότης simply as ‘sap’ (New English Bible), while others abandon completely the figure of speech, for example, TEV which has “you share the strong spiritual life.”{N:001}|For another treatment of πιότης in {S:04501101700038}, see {D:65.7}.
