σπλαγχνίζομαι [page 584] am moved as to the σπλάγχνα ( q.v. ), and hence am filled with compassion, tenderness. Lightfoot on Php_1:8 writes that the verb does not seem to be classical, and was perhaps a coinage of the Jewish Dispersion, and Thumb, Hellen. p. 123 practically confirms this. It occurs in the fragmentary vi/A.D. petition P Flor III. 296 .23 οὐκ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ὁ εἰρημε̣(νος ), and we may note its appearance in the MGr sailor s prayer Σπλαγχίσου με , Βορέα μου , Πατέρα μου Βορέα . O have pity on me, my North Wind, father North Wind (see Abbott, Songs p. 164).
