x'/ipui'ovff/v, sav /jiYi d'TroffTuXojffi ; There is a continued A nadiplo sis, as Glassius rightly observes, p. 1992. But still it is not properly termed Anadiflosis, except when the last word of the preceding sentence is repeated in the beginning of the following sentence. But in a Climax it is sufficient if one of the last words of the preceding sentence is repeated; e.g. — Acts xxiii. 6, iyu <bapu>a?6g si,ai, vibg <t>upitiaiov, a Pharisee , a son of the Pharisees [reading Qapitiaiu /j. See Gnom.
Also, in a more general signification, the term Climax is employed in the Gnom. on Bom. i. 23, and Eph. iv. 31. Thus it comes to pass, that under a figure of speech ( diction ) there lies concealed at the same time a figure of the sense. Comp, the title Gradation.
COMMUNICATIO is, when we call the hearers [or the readers] into consultation with us, and leave the decision to the readers them- selves, or even to adversaries ; which is of use, in the case of the former class, towards conciliating the minds of hearers ; in the case of both classes, is of use towards the right understanding of the just merits of our cause [Ernesti in Bh. p. ii. ch. iii. 356, p. 174] : e.g. —
Acts iv. 19, E 1 bixadv itiriv svuik/ov rov Qsov, v,au v axovtiv /xaXXov rj tgv 0soD, xpivars. — 1 Cor. vi. 2, xai ti iv vfi/v xp/verai 6 xIc/agc, dva^iGi itire xpirqpiw

CONCISA LOCUTIO is a kind of Ellipsis, where one word is so put as that another must be understood : or if a sacred writer speaks so as that the Apodosis has to be supplied from the Protasis, or the Protasis from the Apodosis : e.g. — Matt. iv. 5, 8, rbn Kupu- Xapfiavei avrbv o biufioXog — is an abbreviated expression for “ he takes Him with himself and leads Him.” — Luke iv. 1, 2, rjytro iv r& Hvtv/uan tig rijv eprjfjGov ir^tpag reffcccpaxovra, u He was being led into the desert [and was in the desert] forty days.” The Gnom. on the passage. — Ch. xvi. 26, grid's oi [sztfj ixt/dtv Kpog. — Johni. 23, syu tpurri, where we must supply the sentence thus, I am he of whom it was said , The
