Footnotes

  1. 105 L&N 33.153 σημαίνω, “to cause something to be both specific and clear—‘to indicate clearly, to make clear’ … ‘for it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner without clearly indicating the charges against him’ Ac 25:27.” Without clearly indicating the charges against him. Again the point is made by Festus himself that there is difficulty even in articulating a charge against Paul.
