H. P. Grice's Homily

“Whoever Hellenizes [ὁ . . . ἑλληνίζων] is able to present the idea of things in a clear and distinct manner (σαφῶς ἅμα ϰαὶ ἀϰϱιϐῶς), as in a conversation [homilia (ὁμιλία)] which signifies a band of warriors, companionship, society, commerce, relation—including sexual relation—the lessons of a master, discussion and the normal usage of a word” (Adversus mathematicos, 1.10.176–79).
