From \u201cFigures Of Speech Used In The Bible\u201d by E.W. Bullinger, <\/span>page\u00a0438<\/a> <\/span><\/span>(Epitrochasmos) or, SUMMARISING.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A running lightly over by way of Summary<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nWhen the enumeration called Synathr\u0153smus<\/i><\/a> is made, not for the sake of amplifying but only for the sake of abbreviating, by summarising, so as to hurry over what is being said (rather than for the sake of dwelling upon it), so as to pass on quickly to another subject, it is then called EPITROCHASMOS<\/i> (Ep’-i-tro-chas’-mos<\/i>), from \u1f10\u03c0\u03af (epi<\/i>), upon<\/i> or over,<\/i> and \u03c4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c7\u03ac\u03b6\u03b5\u03b9\u03bd (trochazein<\/i>), to run along quickly<\/i>, Hence Epitrochasmus <\/i>means a running lightly over<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Latins called it PERCURSIO, which means a running through<\/i>. In this connection, it is practically the same as Asyndeton (q.v<\/i>.), where examples may be found.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nSee Ex. 15:9, 10<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nEpitrochasmus<\/i> is therefore a figure of Omission<\/i>; in that the conjunction \u201cand\u201d is omitted for the sake of running quickly through the enumeration; and an omission of sense also, in that it abbreviates and summarises.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nOn the other hand it comes under the head of figures involving addition<\/i> in that it at the same time certainly amplifies<\/i> by a copious pouring forth of words.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThus, while there is an actual addition of words, that very addition is for the purpose of avoiding a longer statement. We have therefore mentioned this figure here in this division.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nHeb. 11:32<\/a> is an example; where a number of persons are named or alluded to,
\nbut not dwelt upon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
