Diptychon (English spelling)

Japanese: ディプテュコン(英語表記)diptychon
Diptychon (English spelling)
A list of the living and the dead, for whom special prayers are offered by name during Christian liturgies. The word comes from the Greek word meaning "folded in two." This list was once read out loud, so removing someone from the diptychon meant excommunication. [Tatsuya Moriyasu]
