Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

τηλαυγῶς / δηλαυγῶς [page 633, 144] τηλαυγῶς a NT ἅπ . εἰρ . ( Mar_8:25 ΰ c ABDW : δηλαυγῶς ΰ *C), clearly though at a distance, clearly from afar. The force of the word is well brought out in a magical formula, P Oxy VI. 886 (iii/A.D.), which, after various directions for obtaining an omen, ends .24 χρημαθισθήσῃ ( l . χρηματισθήσῃ ) τ̣ηλαυγῶς , you will obtain an illuminating answer (Edd.). See also s.v . δηλαυγῶς below. For adj. τηλαυγής cf. Bacchyl. XVI. 5, also Vett. Val. p. 54 .8 τοῦτον τὸν τόπον οἱ παλαιοὶ μυστικῶς καὶ σκοτεινῶς διέγραψαν , ἡμεῖς δὲ τηλαυγέστερον . According to Moulton Gr . ii, p. 283 the meaning is far-shining or far-discerned, according as αὐγή or αὐγάζω is to guide our interpretation of the second part. δηλαυγῶς the reading of ΰ *C(L) Δ in Mar_8:25 , is found in the Mithrasliturgie , p. 18 .8 acc. to the Paris papyrus : ἐὰν δέ ἄλλῳ θέλῃς δεικνύειν , ἔχε τῆς καλουμένης βοτάνης κεντριδίδος χυλὸν περιχρίων τὴν ὄψιν οὗ βούλει μετὰ ῥοδίνου , καὶ ὄψεται δηλαυγῶς ὥστε σε θαυμάζειν . The τηλαυγῶς in Dieterich s text is only an emendation as it is very probably in ΰ c. ABDNW ω in Mk l.c. , since τηλ . is the commoner word. (Hesychius and Democritus in Grimm should have sufficed to prevent Lagrange from denying the existence of δηλ .)
