tmema

The benefit of which I now make such honourable mention is this: that as the books of the New Testament had been divided into those sections (tmemata) which we call chapters, he himself divided, or rather subdivided, these sections into those tmematia, or smaller sections, called, by an appellation more approved by others than by him, versicles; for he preferred calling them by the Greek name Tmematia, or its Latin Sectiunculæ.
