| Definition |
1. A lengthening out by copious Exposition of Facts... The figure is employed when there is a copious statement or exposition of facts, not so much for the purposes of amplification, or of abbreviation, as of digression. Indeed, it is the opposite of Syntomia: which means a cutting off short, abridgment: whereas Diexodos is a lengthening out by a digression in order to expand. (Bullinger, 465) |

1. See 2 Pet. 2:13, 15, 17. Jude 12, 13, 16, etc. (Bullinger, 465) |
