         Comments: It is possible that ἀποψύχω in {S:04202102600002} refers primarily to a psychological experience rather than a physiological one. Some scholars, however, have interpreted ἀποψύχω in this context as meaning ‘to die.’ For another interpretation of ἀποψύχω in {S:04202102600002}, see ἀποψύχω[b] {D:25.293}.
