>> Thayer's offers this definition for THEION: "divine incense, because burning brimstone was regarded as having power to purify, and to ward off disease"
>>    
>>   This definition seems to have support in the 1897 edition of the Liddell and Scott Greek-English Lexicon which defines the verb THEIOO thus: "to hallow, to make divine, or to dedicate to a god"
>>    
>>   Strong's doesn't offer the gloss that Thayer's does, and so I am wondering if these definitions are viable.
