Proleg., p. 102)), χρίσματος, τό ([[χρίω]], [[which]] [[see]]), [[anything]] smeared on, [[unguent]], [[ointment]], [[usually]] [[prepared]] by the Hebrews from [[oil]] and [[aromatic]] herbs. Anointing [[was]] the inaugural [[ceremony]] for priests (Josephus, Antiquities 6,8, 2 [[πρός]] [[τόν]] Δαυιδην — [[when]] anointed by Samuel — μεταβαινει τό [[θεῖον]] καταλιπον Σαουλον. καί ὁ [[μέν]] προφητεύειν ἤρξατο, [[τοῦ]] θείου πνεύματος [[εἰς]] αὐτόν μετοικισαμενου); ([[see]] BB. DD., [[see]] [[under]] the words, Ointment, Anointing). Hence, in [[ἀπό]] [[τοῦ]] ἁγίου is so used as to [[imply]] [[that]] [[this]] [[χρῖσμα]] renders [[them]] ἁγίους (cf.
