Examples

“The benefit of which I now make⟳ such honourable mention⟳ is this: that as the books of the New Testament had been divided into those sections (tmemata) which we call⟳ chapters, he himself divided, or rather subdivided, these sections into those tmematia, or smaller sections, called, by an appellation more approved by others than by him, versicles; for he preferred calling them by the Greek name⟳ Tmematia, or its Latin Sectiunculæ.”

“In the cultures of November and January the tmemata described by Correns were found on the primary protonema after about 2 months.”

“A tmema cell, formed in the ageing chloronema of moss protonema, represents a means of propagation. It leads to the disruption of filaments into fragments.”
