ANAKEPHAL2EOSIS is part of a rhetorical Peroration [or Epilogue], when the subjects that have been previously set forth very fully, are inculcated afresh in a brief repetition. It designates in general, also, any brief and neat repetition whatsoever. Recap- itulation signifies the same [See Gnom. on John xiv. 12, xvi 28 ; 1 John v. 7, 8 ; T. ii. p. 569] : Acts vii. 1, etc., Stephen proceeds to give an Anakephalseosis of ancient facts, i.e. a repetition. Gnom. — Rom. viii. 30. An Anakephalseosis of the whole benefit which lies in justification and glorification. Gnom. on the ch. quoted, ver. 28. — Heb. ii. 17, xard ^dvra ro?g dbik<po7g o/Aoiwdrivai. An Anakephalseosis of those things which go before. See Gnom.
ANANTAPODOTON is, when the entire Apodosis is omitted. This especially takes place in the case of comparisons. We may understand from the Protasis itself, which is given, and from the rest of the context, what is the force of the Apodosis that needs to be supplied : e.g. — Luke xiii. 9, xdv fih gtoi^gti xdprrov (The Apodosis to be supplied is, It is well ; or, I will leave it ; or, let it bring forth fruit ) : v. Gnom. John vi. 62, sav ovv Gsupsrn r'ov v/bv rod dvQpdwov
r'o rrpbrtpov. The Apodosis to be supplied is, what shall be ? v .
Gnom. — Rom. ix. 22, el de GsXuv o 0? 6$. The Apodosis is to be sup- plied at the end of ver. 23 from ver. 20, there is now (accordingly) much the greater reason for God to complain of man , and the less reason for man to expostulate with God. v. Gnom. — 2 Pet. ii. 4, etc., may be no doubt referred to the figure Anantapodoton, but the Gnomon rightly observes that the Apodosis is to be sought for in ver. 9. Comp. C. L. Bauer’s Philologia Thucyd. Pauli, ch. xiii. 2, p. 277.
ANAPHORA is the frequent repetition of the same word in beginnings. — It has great force in adorning unusually weighty arguments and in amplification ; but it also most frequently, as I remember my departed parent observed, supplies us with a light in investigating the larger sections of a prophetical book, e.g. Isaiah, with a view to making such sections subservient to neat analysis. But it is not my purpose, nor is this the place, to illustrate this re- mark.— Examples occur; Matt. xi. 18, 19, fiXQ& yap ’iaavvyg — %X0sv o v/og rod uvGpunov — A remarkable Anaphora. — Acts xx. 22, 25, xa / vdv ido-j s yd dsds/x'svog — xa/ vdv idou iyd old a. — 1 Cor. iii. 9, ©sou yap sg/jlsv cvvipyoi * ©go;; ysuipy/ov , ©sou o/xodo/joi] sgre. — Phil. iii. 2, (BX's^rers rag xvvag, f3Xsmrs rodg xaxovg epydrag , (3'k&wirs rr\v xararo/^v.
ANTANACLASIS is, when the same word in the same neighbourhood is put twice, but in a double sense. — This Figure is frequent both in Paul, as many commentators everywhere observe , and in the other sacred writers , as Glassius [Philol. S. L. Y. Tract, ii. ch. iii. p. m. 2003, etc.] admirably demonstrates. The
