Note 129 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Footnote 129: (return) See Parkhurst's Lexicon, under Δεισιδαιµονία, which Suidas explains by εὐλάßεια περὶ τὸ θεῖον--reverence for the Divine, and Hesychius by Φυßυθέια--fear of God. Also, Josephus, Antiq., book x. ch. iii, § 2: "Manasseh, after his repentance and reformation, strove to behave himself (τῇ δεισιδαιµονία χρῆσθαί) in the most religious manner towards God." Also see A. Clarke on Acts xvii.
