Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

Luke 21:11

καὶ κατὰ τόπους : the καὶ thus placed ([172] [173] [174]) dissociates κ. τ. from σεισμοί and connects it with λοιμοὶ καὶ λιμοὶ : not earthquakes, but pestilences and famines here, there, everywhere. λ. καὶ λ., a baleful conjunction common in speech and in fact. φόβητρα, terrifying phenomena, here only in N.T. (in Isaiah 19:17, Sept [175]). The τε connects the φόβητρα with the signs from heaven next mentioned. They are in fact the same thing (ἕν διὰ δυοῖν, Bengel).
