| Summary: | An analysis of twenty-five available examples of 'thaumazo'xxxxxxxx in papyri letters was undertaken. In four cases, referring to 'something' it was found to represent three different meanings: wondering about something, being amazed by something, and being surprised by something. In two cases the meaning represented was: be in doubt about. In nineteen cases the meaning expressed was: be perplexed (by some act or the lack thereof on the part of the recipient). In a few cases where irony was detected, it had no bearing on either the meaning represented or the form, which remained fluid. |
