(1) ἐπιδιατάσσομαι , epidiatássomaı̄ , "to add to," "to arrange in addition": Found only in Galatians 3:15 , which may thus be paraphrased: "To take a familiar illustration: even a man's will, when ratified, no third party may annul or supplement" (Dummelow, in the place cited.).
(2) ἐπιτίθημι , epitı́thēmı̄ , "to put upon," "If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues" (Revelation 22:18 ). The book is not to be falsified by addition or excision (see BOOK ) by the interpolation of unauthorized doctrines or the neglect of essential ones (compare Deuteronomy 4:2; Deuteronomy 12:32 ).

The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
