ἐπιούσιος

G1967 G:A

daily

ἐπιούσιος , -ον (cf. περιούσιος, [in LXX for סְגֻלָּה, etc.]), found only in the phrase ἄρτος ἐ., EV, daily; R, mg., for the coming day : Mat.6:11 , Luk.11:3 . (Several derivations find support, each pointing to a different meaning. __1. ἐπιοῦσα (sc. ἡμέρα) (or, ἐπὶ τὴν ἰοῦσαν (sc. ήμέραν), Zorell, see word), hence, for the morrow or for the coming day (R, mg.). __2. (a) ἐπί + οὐσία, hence, for subsistence, needful (Am. R, mg.); __(b) ἐπί + εἶναι in fern. ptcp. form, hence, pertaining to (the day). For renderings of versions and views of various writers, see reff. in DB , ext. , 36 f.; DCG , ii, 58 f., 62a; ICC on Lk, l.with The EV, daily, is based on the Vg. (Lk; OL, Mt, Lk, quotidianus). "It is difficult not to think that τὸν ἐ. rests upon misunderstanding of an original Aramaic phrase, or upon a Greek corruption" ( ICC on Mt, l.with; cf. also Cremer, 239).† (AS)
