Phonetic Spelling: (es'-op-tron)
Short Definition: a mirror
Definition: a mirror, looking-glass (made of highly polished metal).

2072 ésoptron – a metallic mirror (not made of glass). Ancient mirrors (merely made of polished metal) only produced an indistinct image (reflection). So, to get an accurate picture (reflection) the viewer had to look from several different angles ("standpoints"). This has profound implications in "doing theology"!

from eis and the fut. of horaó

a mirror (i.e. an object for looking into)
