584 apodeíknymi (from 575 /apó, "separated from" and 1166 /deiknýō, "to show") – properly, exhibit (literally, "show from"), demonstrating that something is what it "claims to be" (WS, 226).

584 (apodeiknymi) connects "claim to basis." Hence the ancient Greek philosophers used this term for "putting forth certain proof" (Abbott-Smith).

[In the papyri, 584 (apodeíknymi) sometimes means openly declare someone has been appointed to public office.]
