1. properly,
a. one that has breathed his last, lifeless: ἐπί νεκροῖς, if men are dead (where death has occurred (see ἐπί, Buttmann, 2a. ε., p. 233 a at the end)), ἐγείρειν νεκρούς, as if already dead, sure to die, destined inevitably to die: τό σῶμα, τό σῶμα and τό σωμάτιον φύσει νεκρόν, Epictetus diss. 3,10, 15,3,22, 41; in which sense Luther called the human body, although alive, einen alten Madensack (cf.
