{Glistering, exceeding white} (stilbonta leuka lian). Old
words, all of them. Mt 17:2 has {white as the light} (leuka
h(9373) to ph(9373)), Lu 9:29 "white and dazzling" (leukos
exastrapt(936e)) like lightning. {So as no fuller on earth can
whiten them} (hoia gnapheus epi t(8873) g(8873) ou dunatai hout(9373)
leuk(836e)ai). Gnaph(935c) is an old word to card wool. Note hout(9373),
so, so white. Some manuscripts in Matthew add h(9373) chi(936e), as
snow. Probably the snow-capped summit of Hermon was visible on
this very night. See on 烘t 17:2| for "transfigured."
