New Testament either for any acute or figurative expression ; e.g. — Matt. xv. 15 [Comp, the Gnom.] ; or for any comparison or simile , Mark iii. 23 ; or, for a Proverb , TWO, Luke iv. 23. See Gnom.
PAREGMENON is the conjunction of Conjugates, also of simple words and their compounds. These are instances of both kinds : — 1 Cor. xi. 29, etc., xpi[i, a savrti i<$Qhi zai nivei, firi biazp'ivm rb aufLci. — James ii. 4, v.ai ou diszpidrirs iv eavroTg, zai iysvsff&s zpirai diaXo- yiofjuwv trovripuv. These are instances of the latter kind: — Acts viii. 30, a pa yi yivdffzeig a dvayivdszug ; — Rom. ii. 1, nag 6 xpfvwv’ iv w yap y.plvug rbv srepov, ffeavrbv zarazp/vsig.

PARELKON is a species of Pleonasm , when a term is set down, the omission of which would leave the sentence still in some mea- sure complete, but the introduction of which makes the language elegant, emphatical, sweet, and marked by characteristic feeling, etc. : e.g . — Luke xii. 37, “ The participle 'irapiXQuv is redundant also ch. xviii. 5, ip^o/uivi j; also Acts xvi. 3, XaBuv; also 1 Cor. vi. 15, dpag , u But there is in this participle the highest degree of ivapye/a (< distinctness ), depicting as it were the unworthiness of such an act.” See Gnom. — John vi. 15, ’I yjaoug ovv — avrbg povog. A vrbg is elegantly redundant.
PARENTHESIS, Interposition is, when the current of the lan- guage (sentence) is so interrupted or divided by the interposition of another sentence, or more sentences than one, that the intervening sentences require to be considered separately. In the New Testa- ment Greek it is wont to be marked by commas, and still more by colons. See Ed. Bengefi 1753, Admonit. p. 15, § 5. After the end of the Parenthesis the (leading) word (verb) is either repeated, or is then, and not till then, put down : e.g. — Mark vii. 3, 4, oi yap <3?apiffa?oi — zai yakxiw zai z7jvuv, forms a Parenthesis. See Gnom/ on Mark vii. 1. — John i. 24, zai oi — <E wpufa/wv, forms a Parenthesis. See Gnom. on the passage. — Acts i. 15, rjv re o%Xog — e 7xo<r/v, forms a Parenthesis. — Ch. ii. 8—11, axovo/xsv sxaorog — Kpijrsg xai ” A pa(3sg, forms a Parenthesis. — 1 Tim. v. 22, 23, veavrbv dyvbv rqpet — ackvslag, forms a Parenthesis. See Gnom. on the passage.
