Thayer's Greek Lexicon
διαδίδωμι; future διαδιδώσω (Rev 17:13 Rec.); 1 aorist διέδωκα; 2 aorist imperative διάδος; passive, imperfect 3 person singular διεδίδοτο (Act 4:35), for which L T Tr WH read διεδίδετο (see ἀποδίδωμι);
1. to distribute, divide among several (cf. διά, C. 3): τί, Luk 11:22; τί τίνι, Luk 18:22 (Lachmann δός); Joh 6:11 (Tdf. ἔδωκεν); passive Act 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, Rev 17:13; but here G L T Tr WH have restored διδοασι (cf. δίδωμι, at the beginning).
