Westcott, Introd. to the Study of the Gospels, p. 9 sq. (Am. ed. 34 sq.) ; Liicke, Einl. in ἃ. Offenb. ἃ. Johan. 2d ed. p. 18 sqq.; esp. F. G. Δ. van Bell, Disput. theolog. de vocabulis φανεροῦν et ἀποκαλύπτειν in N. T., Lugd. Bat., 1849. φανερόω is thought to describe an external manifestation, to the senses and hence open to all, but single or isolated ; ἀποκαλύπτω an internal disclosure, to the 2 ἀποκαραδοκία believer, and abiding. The ἀποκάλυψις or unveiling precedes and produces the φανέρωσις or manifestution ; the former looks toward the object revealed, the latter toward the persons to whom the revelation is made. Others, however, seem to question the possibility of discrimination; see e. g. Fritzsche on Rom. vol. ii. 149. Cf. 1 Co. iii. 13.]

SYN.: φανερόω (v. Thayer, 62; Cremer, 342).†

ἀποκαλύπτω. For the literal sense of this significant word cf. P Gen I. 1638 (A.D. 207), as amended dad. p. 37, ὁ[πό]ταν ἡ τοια[ύ]τη γῆ ἀποκαλυ[φθ]ῇ, μισθοῦται καὶ σπείρεται : cf. BGU IL. 6407 (i/A.D.) βουλόμεθα μισθώσασθαι ἀποκαλυφης (Δ -elons) αἰγιαλοῦ, and CPR I. 239° (A.p. 212) βούλομαι μισθώσασθαι ἀποκαλυφείσης χέρσος αἰγειαλοῦ, both as amended by Spohr in his note on P Iand 275 (A.D. 100-1). He remarks that the phrase denotes ‘‘agri litorales,” which could only be cultivated when the water had receded. Since two of Spohr’s passages have αἀποκαλυφης (BGU II. 640 and CPR 327) αἰγιαλοῦ, one is tempted to postulate rather an adjective ἀποκάλυφος, which would be quite regular in formation. A further instance might be sought in CPHerm 45°, where we would read ὀψ[] pws ἀποκάλυφοί(ι) (ἄρουραι) é. We may add for the other form P Iand 30} (a.p. 105-6) ἐκ τῶν ἀποκαλυ[ζφέντω]ν ἀπ᾽ αἰγ[ια]λοῦ ἐδα[φ]ῶν. To the classical and late Greek instances of the verb given by the dictionaries may now be added the new literary fragment in P Oxy III. 4133 ἀ[ποκ]άλυψον ἵνα ἴδω αὐτήν.
