Lexiph. 1; in a bad sense, language artfully adapted to captivate the hearer, fair speaking, fine speeches: Romans 16:18 (joined with χρηστολογία, the latter relating to the substance, εὐλογία to the expression); plural in Aesop, fab. 229, p. 150 edition Cor. ἐὰν σὺ εὐλογίας ἐυπορῇς, ἔγωγέ σου οὐ κήδομαι, [but why not genitive singular?]. By a usage unknown to native Greeks.
