Logion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Logion is a small portion of text that is not evidenced elsewhere and is generally unique. The term is typically used in Biblical criticism to refer to reasonably sized fragments of texts that have been discovered but whose content is not duplicated anywhere else. The usage typically denotes the sayings of Jesus, such as in the Gospel of Thomas and other extra-canonical sources. The origins of the Greek word are recorded from 400 B.C. and used to describe an oracle, stemming from legein, to speak.
