         Glosses: ['to swear falsely', 'to perjure oneself']

         Comments: In the one occurrence in the NT of {L:ἐπιορκέω}[a] ({D:33.464}). In either case, it is often necessary to be quite specific about the meaning and to introduce sufficient information into the context so that the specific aspect of either breaking an oath or swearing falsely will be clear.
