2 particul. qui contemple (les mystères), càd initié du plus haut degré aux mystères d’Éleusis.
Étymologie: ἐπόψομαι.

Spanish

vigilante, iniciado en los misterios

English (Strong)

from ἐπί and a presumed derivative of ὀπτάνομαι; a looker-on: eye-witness.

English (Thayer)

ἐπόπτου, ὁ (from unused ἐπόπτω);
1. an overseer, inspector, see ἐπίσκοπος; (Aeschylus, Pindar, others; of God, in ἀνθρωπίνων ἔργων, Clement of Rome, 1 Corinthians 59,3 [ET]).
2. a spectator, eye-witness of anything: so in ἐπόπται by the Greeks who had attained to the third (i. e. the highest) grade of the Eleusinian mysteries (Plutarch, Alcib. 22, and elsewhere), the word seems to be used here to designate those privileged to be present at the heavenly spectacle of the transfiguration of Christ.
