However, due to the existence of the Aramaic term DKYR, which carries a seemingly identical meaning to ΜΝΗΣΘΗ, in similar contexts in the Roman Near East, a comparison between both words is possible.

Eros as the Meeting of Ecstasies in Christ: The Eucharistic Link between Divine and Human Love in Dionysius the Areopagite

International Journal of Systematic Theology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 453-473, October 2026.
