Mimesis; or, Description of Sayings Mi-mee-sis, from the Greek μίμησις (mi-mee-sis), imitation, from μιμεῖσθαι (mimeisthai), to imitate .
The name is used when the sayings (and sometimes motions and thoughts) of another are described or imitated by way of emphasis.
Hence called by the Latins IMITATIO, imitation .
See Exodus 15:9 (see Asyndeton). Psalms 137:7, Psalms 1:144-15 (see Ellipsis). Isaiah 1:14, Isaiah 28:15, Hosea 1:14-3, Ezekiel 36:2, Micah 2:11, Micah 3:11 .
So also 1 Corinthians 15:35, and Philippians 1:3-5 .
Sometimes there is a use of a word which another is wont to use, and which is repeated so as delicately, but yet acutely, to direct him aright. As in 2 Corinthians 10:1, 2 Corinthians 10:10, and Galatians 6:2 .
