Tiles
Wyc. has sclattis, elates.
Couch (κλινιδίῳ)
Luke uses four words for the beds o£ the sick: κλίνη, as Luk 5:18, the general word for a bed or couch; κράββατος, (Act 5:15; Act 9:33), a rude pallet (see on Mar 2:4); κλινίδιον, a small couch or litter, as here, a couch so light that a woman could lift and carry it away. Thus, in the “Lysistrata” of Aristophanes, 916, Myrrine says: “Come now, let me carry our couch” (κλινίδιον). The fourth term, κλινάριον (Act 5:15), cannot be accurately distinguished from the last. The last two are peculiar to Luke.
Into the midst before Jesus
See on Mar 2:4.
