biblaridion denotes the small written item held by an angel, given to be taken and eaten in Revelation 10.

The term denotes the small written item in the angel's hand: it is opened, requested and given, then taken and eaten, with sweetness in the mouth and bitterness in the stomach described in the surrounding scene.

  1. The item held, given, and eaten · dominant

    In Revelation 10:2, the accusative singular neuter form identifies the opened item in the angel's hand; the APB renders the clause "an opened little scroll." In Revelation 10:9 and Revelation 10:10, the same form is the item requested, taken, and devoured; the APB renders "the little scroll" while describing its sweet taste in the mouth and bitter effect in the stomach.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Revelation 10:2, Revelation 10:9, and Revelation 10:10, the APB presents the item as "little scroll." This rendering confirms the scene's presentation rather than isolating every contribution of the Greek form.
