Headword:
*proqesmi/a
Adler number: pi,2444
Translated headword: appointed [day]
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [So called] from designating [proqei=nai][1] the day on which this should take place, not from foretelling [proqespi/zein], if we [sc. humans] designate a certain appointed day; but if it is god/God who designates, the noun is derived from proqespi/zein, as god/God foretells and orders and establishes a law concerning the day, on which perhaps this [man] must depart from this life or this whole universe must be destroyed. And qespi/zein[2] [is said] properly in reference to a god, but incorrectly also in reference to a king/emperor.
