Gnom. on this passage ; also on Luke xix. 4, where there is an ellipsis of did. — Luke xviii. 14, u there is to be supplied, paKkov.”
2. Relative [Relata] Ellipsis, where the very words that are put down furnish the words which are to be supplied ; e.g. — A verb is to be supplied from the verb , or from the noun substantive : 1 Cor. i. 26, 27, (3Ks<rsn yap rr\ v xkr]Gi v vjxuv, ddsXpo), on ov rroXXoi Gopoi xard cdpxa [viz. sxXrjQridav, have been called (see the Gnom. on this pas- sage) ; or, have been chosen , with which comp.

3. Entire Sentences in many passages are omitted by El- lipsis : e.g. — Absolute Propositions : Rom, ix. 7, aXX’ sv ’idaax xXq 6?j- csra) go i G-rspfia. u This is put with a material supposition ; for there is to be supplied, It is written , and it is being fulfilled.” See Gnom. After dXXd understand sera/, xadug ysypartrai. — Bauer’s Phil. Th. P., p. 193. Relative or related propositions are to be sup- plied from the antecedents, or else from the consequents : Rom. viii. 3. See Gnom., and Bauer, L. c. p. 197.
II. In what way, therefore, this or that Ellipsis is to be sup- plied, may be inferred either from the Antecedents, or else from the Consequents, or from the nature of the thing itself, or from the mere “usus loquendi” : e.g. — Rom. vii. 13, dXXd ?? d^apna [supply from the hemistich that goes before, Iilo) ysyovs Oavarog], iva pavy [Gnom.] ; or, if you prefer it, suppose an Enallage in xarspya^o^svri Zavarov, and understand it as used for the finite xarsipya(sro. If it be explained in the former way, there is at the same time a Meto- nymy, viz. todvurog for the cause of death, and an Epexegesis, viz. dtd rov — Tears pyaZofjj'sn\ Qdvarov [epexegetical of 7j dfxapna — ysyovs ddvarog ].

The Gnomon observes, that u a verb is often omitted which is to be repeated from the fol- lowing clause,” and quotes several passages in illustration of this. — Matt. xi. 18, yXQs yap’luavvrig [irirs edOluv [i.e. neither eating, i.e. with others, or not even in the sight of others] [ly\ rs rnvuv [viz. olvov xa/' dixspa , Luke i. 15].
