ἅρδις according to modern usage,) and therefore must not be assigned to WEG. In reply to this it is urged that, in a matter like the present, a single word cannot be considered a satisfactory explanation, such as ἁρδέως.
It should also be observed that the revolution here discussed is entirely the effect of enlightenment, since particles, when illuminated to such an extent as actually to become φώς, are always found to diverge more or less widely from each other; though undoubtedly the radical force of the word is 'union' or 'friendly feeling.' The reader will find in 'Liddell and Scott' a remarkable illustration of this, from which it appears to be an essential condition that the feeling should be entertained φοράδην and that the particle entertaining it should belong to the genus σκότος, and should therefore be, nominally at least, unenlightened.
THE END.
