Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπιφάνιον καὶ τὰ Ἐπιφάνια.

Betacode

*)epifa/nion kai\ ta\ *)epifa/nia.

The primary headword here is either a neuter singular or else the accusative of the masculine proper name Epiphanios (cf. epsilon 2741, epsilon 2742, epsilon 2743, epsilon 2744); the latter would be much the better attested.
The Christian feast of the Epiphany is normally either ta\ e)pifa/nia (neuter plural) or h( e)pifa/neia (feminine singular) — for the latter, see epsilon 2739 — or else Theophany, ta\ qeofa/nia or h( qeofa/neia (see theta 193).
