Δυσωπία

Notes

1. Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1119).
   This noun is used by writers between the C1 BCE and the C2 CE in the sense indicated in the headword. Plutarch wrote a short treatise on the topic, de vitioso pudore (Moralia 528Cff).
   In Patristic texts it can be found meaning “appeal to sense of shame” and “persuasion” (see Lampe s.v.).
