Choke (Hastings' Dictionary)

Death by drowning is not now de- scribed as ' choking ' ; so in Mk 5" ' the herd . . were choked in the sea,' Amer. RV changes ' choked ' into ' drowned ' ; but RV retains, to pre- serve uniformity in tr. of Tr^-ivw. ' Choking ' occurs Sir 51 ' from the c. of tire ' (dirA iryiyij.oO irvpSs). J. Hastings. CHOL& (XoiXd). — An nnknown locality men- tionea in Jth 15. CHOLER (Gr.

xo^^/>o> I^O'^- cholera), bile, is ased in Sir 31-° 37^ in the sense of a disease, ' perhaps cholera, diarrhcea' — Oxf. Eng. Diet. [xoXipa, RV 'colic'); and in Dn 8' 11" in the sense of bitter anger (Ti;). Both meanings are old, and belonged indeed to the Lat. cholera as early as the 3rd and 4th cent. J. HASTINGS.
