ἀποκρυφος [page 65]
ἀποκρυφος is a favourite word with Vettius Valens. It denotes p. 2 16 the hidden organs of the body (τῶν ἐντὸς ἀ .). The influence of Gemini (p. 7 30 ) produces κριτικοὶ κακῶν καὶ ἀγαθῶν , φρόνιμοι , περίεργοι , ἀποκρύφων μύσται , etc. In p. 108 8 περὶ δεσμῶν καὶ συνοχῶν καὶ ἀποκρύφων πραγμάτων καὶ κατακρίσεως καὶ ἀτιμίας it suggests unknown disasters of the future. P. 176 6 περὶ θεμελίων ἢ κτημάτων (? κτισμάτων ed.) ἢ ἀποκρύφων ἢ περὶ νεκρικῶν , subjects on which signs are sought ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπογείου . In p. 179 .24 (so 301 21 , 335 4 ) μυστικῶν ἢ ἀποκρύφων πραγμάτων suggests mysteries again. The adverb is joined with ἐφθονημένως p. 301 5 , of mystifying and grudging expositions. See also Kaibel 1028 10 (Andros, iv/A.D., a hymn to Isis) ἀπόκρυφα σύνβολα δέλτων εὑρομένα . P Leid W is Μοϋσέως ἱερὰ βίβλος ἀπόκριφος ( viii. 33 ) : cf. i. 18.
