Subject: Dilogos

I am looking for some information on how those living in the 1st  
century would have understood the term DILOGOS.  It is only used once  
in the Bible and I would like to get a feel for how it should be  
translated today.  I have the usual lexicons BDAG, LN, Thayer, UBS,  
and Friberg.
In Xenophon, it appears to mean simply to repeat oneself, to say  
something twice.  In what way is this to be understood as a negative  
quality?

Thanks in advance,

Ron Snider
