αναμνησις, αναμνησεως, η (αναμιμνησκω), a remembering, recollection: εις την εμην αναμνησιν to call me (affectionately) to remembrance, Luk_22:19; 1Co_11:24f, εν αυταις (namely, θυσιαις) αναμνησις αμαρτιων in offering sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins, i.e. the memory of sins committed is revived by the sacrifices, Heb_10:3. In Greek writings from Plato down.

[SYNONYMS: αναμνησις, υπομνησις: The distinction between these words as stated by Ammonius and others -- viz. that αναμνησις denotes an unassisted recalling, υπομνησις a remembrance prompted by another -- seems to be not wholly without warrant; note the force of υπο (cf. our 'suggest'). But even in classical Greek the words are easily interchangeable. (Trench, § cvii. 6; Ellicott or Holtzm. on 2Ti_1:5.)]
