uo,n,pr Of Greek Word cops"

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Dear sir.--Win you kindly discuss the
meaning of the Greek word. ops, gent
tive opsis. which is from future OF
horao, which means 20 seeF / Wish 10
know whether or not this is the eye IN
our English sense
1t appears 10 me that this word means
the vision or sight Of the eye, put not
the eye itself
Eurlpides. in his Hecuba dine 7OD, uses
opsis. which is equivalent TO ops, ana 10
this place it does not signify the eye but
an attribute Of an eye. u = "
Weldon. n. c.
Iidden and scott's Greek-English Lexi-
con gives as the meaning Of ops, genlllve
opsis, first and literally the eye; them
Tentatively and generally, the face, coun-
tenance; Of the proposition enopion-pe-
fore the face of, in the presence Of. Thus
in every example cited by Liddell and
Scott OPS signifies not the eye in our
English sense, or the power of sight but
the face or countenance as the represen-
tative Of the person. They cite no eX-
ample of ops meaning anything else.
The meaning, however, Of vision or
power OF SlBnl OL lhS CgN' q" o.
this lexicon rs belonging to opsis. which,
as our correspondent says is derived from
the same root. The meanings of opsls'
as given by Liddel and Scott, are as fol-
lows. classed under the heads Of objec-
tive and subjective: /. Objective the look
or appearance Of thing; the face or
countenance Cof ops; sight; an appa-
rition. 2. Subjective, the power or see
ing. eyesight; the sense Of seeing. sight;
the organs Of sight, the eyes; lastly, view
sight. e., presence.
In the passage of Eurpides mentioned
o,rsis undoubtedly means not the eye bat
what is seen with the eye-in this case
a vision, an apparition, since the WORDS
read. II understand the dream, the opsis
Of mine eyes, which ] saw concerning
thee" Thus. in the passage In question
opsis is not equivalent to ops.
In conclusion, it is to be said that ops
is a rare poeticai word, meaning the
eountenance. while opsis is a very COM
mon word, with the variety Of related
meanings that have been cited.

that we know or been decided by any

section 1860 of CODE is this; For taking

the same For the justice can make sepa-
