πρόσκλησις, προσκλησεως, ,

1. a judicial summons: Aristophanes, Plato, Demosthenes.

2. an invitation: μηδέν ποιῶν κατά πρόσκλησιν, 1Ti 5:21 L Tr marginal reading; this reading, unless (as can hardly be doubted) it be due to itacism, must be translated by invitation, i. e. the invitation or summons of those who seek to draw you over to their side (see quotations in Tdf. at the passage Cf. πρόσκλισις.)

STRONGS NT 4346: πρόσκλισιςπρόσκλισις, προσκλισεως, , an inclination or proclivity of mind, a jollying the party of one (Polybius (Diodorus)); partiality: κατά πρόσκλισιν, led by partiality (Vulg.in (aliam on) alteram partem declinando), 1Ti 5:21 (R G T WH Tr text); κατά προσκλισεις, Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 21, 7 [ET]; δίχα προσκλισεως ἀνθρωπίνης, ibid. 50, 2 [ET], cf. 47, 3f [ET].
