Headword:
Ἐξηγήσασθαι
Adler number: epsilon,1709
Translated headword: to expound
Vetting Status: low
Translation: differs from to describe.[1] For description is simply talking about things one knows, and speaking either to listeners who do not know them or even to those who do. But exposition[2] is telling people about things they do not know and, at the same time, instructing them about what they are ascertaining.
Greek Original:Ἐξηγήσασθαι τοῦ διηγήσασθαι διαφέρει. διηγήσασθαι μὲν γάρ ἐστιν εἰπεῖν ἁπλῶς, ἅ τις αὐτὸς ἐπίσταται, ἤτοι πρὸς ἀγνοοῦντας τοὺς ἀκροωμένους λέγων ἢ καὶ πρὸς εἰδότας. τὸ δὲ ἐξηγήσασθαι ἅμα λέγειν τε περὶ ὧν ἀγνοοῦσιν οἱ ἀκούοντες, καὶ διδάσκειν αὐτούς, περὶ ὧν πυνθάνονται.
Notes:
[1] Aorist middle infinitives, with a simple difference of a prepositional prefix in the Greek (
εξ - vs.
δι [
α ]-).
[2] For expounding cf.
epsilon 1710,
epsilon 1711.
