        DefinitionShort: to take an oath that something is true, when in reality one knows that it is false

        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.
