- Comments
- “Dans les milieus païens ἅγιος s’applique assez fréquemment à un tel ou tel dieu” (L. Robert, Le martyre de Pionios, prêtre de Smyrne, mis au point et complété par G.W. Bowersock et C.P. Jones... [1994] p. 69, referring to E. Williger, Hagios: Untersuchungen zur Terminologie des Heiligen in der hellenisch-hellenistischen Religion [1922]).
