From dia and didomi; to give throughout a crowd, i.e. Deal out; also to deliver over (as to a successor) -- (make) distribute(-ion), divide, give.
see GREEK dia
see GREEK didomi
1. to distribute, divide among several (cf. διά, C. 3): τί, Luke 11:22; τί τίνι, Luke 18:22 (Lachmann δός); John 6:11 (Tdf. ἔδωκεν); passive Acts 4:35. Its meaning is especially illustrated by Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 7 τόν Κυρον λαβόντα τῶν κρεῶν διαδιδοναι τοῖς ... θεραπευταις ... τοιαῦτα ἐποίει, ἕως διεδιδου πάντα ἅ ἔλαβε κρέα.
2. to give over, deliver: τί τίνι, Revelation 17:13; but here G L T Tr WH have restored διδοασι (cf. δίδωμι, at the beginning).
