         DefinitionShort: a woman of Greek culture and language

         Glosses: Greek woman

         Comments: It is possible that in {S:04100702600010} Ἑλληνίς is to be understood in the sense of Gentile (see {D:11.41}), for the account seems to focus upon the fact that this woman who was not a Jewess nevertheless displayed remarkable faith and confidence in Jesus’ ability to help.

         DefinitionShort: (an extended meaning of {L:Ἑλληνίς}[a] ‘Greek woman,’ {D:11.91}) a female who is a Gentile in view of being a Greek

         Glosses: ['Gentile woman', 'non-Jew', 'Greek']

         Comments: Though one may translate Ἑλληνίς in {S:04401701200018} as ‘Greek,’ the focus is probably upon these women as being Gentiles rather than merely Greeks, for it is the Gentile status of these persons which seems to have been particularly aggravating to some of the Jews in that region.
