 {Decree from Caesar Augustus} (dogma para Kaisaros
Augoustou). Old and common word from doke(935c), to think, form an
opinion. No such decree was given by Greek or Roman historians
and it was for long assumed by many scholars that Luke was in
error. But papyri and inscriptions have confirmed Luke on every
point in these crucial verses  2:1-7 . See W.M. Ramsay's books
(_Was Christ Born at Bethelehem?_ _Luke the Physician_. _The
Bearing of Recent Discovery on the Trustworthiness of the N.T._).
{The World} (	(886e) oikoumen(886e)). Literally, {the inhabited}
({land}, g(886e)). Inhabited by the Greeks, then by the Romans,
then the whole world (Roman world, the world ruled by Rome). So
 Ac 11:28  17:6 . {Should be enrolled} (apographesthai). It was
a census, not a taxing, though taxing generally followed and was
based on the census. This word is very old and common. It means
to write or copy off for the public records, to register.
