λαμπρός, λαμπρά, λαμπρόν (λάμπω); a. shining; brilliant: ἀστήρ, Rev_22:16 (Homer, Iliad 4, 77, etc.); clear, transparent, Rev_22:1. b. splendid, magnificent (A. V. gorgeous, bright (see below)): ἐσθής, Luk_23:11; Act_10:30; Jas_2:2 f; λίνον (L Tr WH λίθον), Rev_15:6; βύσσινος, ; neuter plural splendid ((R. V. sumptuous)) things, i. e. elegancies or luxuries in dress and style, Rev_18:14. The word is sometimes used of brilliant and glistening whiteness (hence, λαμπρά τηβεννα, toga candida, Polybius 10, 4, 8; 10, 5, 1); accordingly the Vulg. in Act_10:30; Jas_2:2; Rev_15:6 renders it bycandidas; and some interpreters, following the Vulg. (indutum vestc alba), understand 'white apparel' to be spoken of in Luk_23:11 (A. V. gorgeous; (see above)); cf. Keim, iii., p. 380 note (English translation, vi. 104).

λαμπρός [page 370] λαμπρός is used with reference to shields in Michel 248 .14 (2nd half iii/B.C.) ἐπιμελε [ῖ ]σθαι . . . ὅπως λαμπα [ὶ ] εἰς τὸν ἀγῶνα παραφέρωνται αἱ ἀσπίδες . An inscr. from Christian times, Preisigke 1190, commemorates the departure of a certain Ταήσαι to the shining land Ταήσαι ἐβίωσεν εἴκουσι ὀκτώ , γ (ίνονται ) (ἔτη ) κ̄η̄ . Εἰς τὴν λαμπρὰν ἀπῆλθεν . A different ellipsis is seen in the MGr λαμπρά ( ή ), Easter. In Preisigke 4127 .3 the adj. is applied to miracles σημῖά σού τινα λαμπρὰ θεάμενος . With the usage in Luk_23:11 , Act_10:30 , Jas_2:2 f. , we may compare Menander Fragm. 669 ἔξωθέν εἰσιν οἱ δοκοῦντες εὐτυχεῖν λαμπροί , τὰ δ᾽ ἔνδον πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις ἴσοι . The superlative is very common as a title of rank or courtesy, e.g. P Fay 33 .11 (A.D. 163) τὰ κελευσθέντα ὑπὸ τ [ο ]ῦ λαμπροτάτου ἡγεμόνος , P Strass I. 43 .1 (A.D. 331) Αὐρηλίᾳ Ῥουφίνᾳ ἡ ( l. τῇ ) λαμπροτάτῃ , P Oxy I. 87 .13 (A.D. 342) ἀ [παν ]τῆσαι ἐπὶ τὴ [ν ] λαμπροτ [άτην ] Ἀλεξανδρίαν . The positive is similarly used in ib. 158 .2 (vi/vii A.D.) παρακαλῶ τὴν ὑμετέραν λαμπρὰν γνησίαν ἀδελφότητα , I urge you, my true and illustrious brother (Edd.). MGr λαμπρός , brilliant, shining.
