释义

Pilate|ˈpaɪlət|
[a. F. Pilate, ad. L. Pilātus, proper name.]
The name (Pontius Pilate) of the Roman procurator of Judæa concerned in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ; hence allusively as a term of reproach. Also, the character of Pilate in the mystery plays; hence † Pilate's voice, a loud magisterial voice (obs.).
