Where it comes from
]
From Ancient Greek λόγιον (lógion, “oracle”), from λόγος (lógos, “word; the word or wisdom of God”) (from λέγω (légō, “I say”), from Proto-Indo-European *leǵ- (“to gather”)) + -ιον (-ion, suffix forming diminutive nouns).
noun logia
- A traditional saying of a religious leader. It is clear from Origen's wording that he is not referring to a logion of the original Montanist leaders, but to a statement made by later adherents of the New Prophecy. […] The logion is probably authentic.
-
A saying that is attributed to Jesus in ancient or reconstructed texts that was (originally) handed down without narrative context.
The Q materials are often thought to have almost exclusively consisted of logia.
