Adler number: delta,563
Translated headword: covenant, testament, will
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
It is used in two meanings. One applies to the disposition made by those who are dying and has the force of a command. The other [kind of] covenant [is] the promise made by God to Abraham and the other forefathers, to raise up out of their seed our Lord and God Jesus Christ.[1]
And in Aristophanes diaqh/kh [means] an agreement. "The agreement that they made with me."[2] Also [sc. attested is the related verb] diati/qemai, meaning "I make an agreement."[3]

[1] Same material, apparently, in Photius and other lexica, but it stops short at 'The other'. There is no verbatim precedent or parallel for its phraseology, though Theodoret, Commentary on the Psalms PG 23.1233 comes close. For the "core" covenant itself see Genesis 17 LXX; cf. Exodus 2.24, and later allusions in e.g. Acts of the Apostles 3.25.
[2] Aristophanes, Birds 439, and scholion.
[3] From a scholion on Aristophanes, Birds 444.
