[SYNONYMS: ἀνάμνησις, ὑπόμνησις: The distinction between these words as stated by Ammonius and others — viz. that ἀνάμνησις denotes an unassisted recalling, ὑπόμνησις a remembrance prompted by another — seems to be not wholly without warrant; note the force of ὑπό (cf. our 'suggest'). But even in classical Greek the words are easily interchangeable. Schmidt, chapter 14; Trench, § cvii. 6, cf., p. 61 note; Ellicott or Holtzm. on 2 Timothy 1:5.]
