6 περιαιρέω
περιαιρέω fut. περιελῶ LXX; 2 aor. περιεῖλον LXX, inf. περιελεῖν, ptc. περιελών. Mid.: fut. 3 sing. περιελοῦνται (EpJer 57); 2 aor. 3 sg. περιείλατο (Jon 3:6; GJs 2:4). Pass.: impf. 3 sg. περιῃρεῖτο; fut. 3 sg. περιαιρεθήσεται LXX; pf. 3 pl. περιῄρηνται (TestJob 43, 4) (Hom. et al.; pap, LXX).① take away from around someth., take away, remove (τείχη: Hdt. 3, 159; 6, 46; Thu. 1, 108, 3; δέρματα σωμάτων Pla., Polit. 288e; τὸν χιτῶνα Aristot., HA 5, 32) Ἅννα … περιείλατο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῆς τὰ πενθικά Hannah (Anna) took off her mourning garments GJs 2:4. Pass., also gener. take away (PTebt 5, 146; 165 [118 B.C.]; Jos., Bell. 1, 179, Ant. 20, 212) περιαιρεῖται τὸ κάλυμμα the veil is removed 2 Cor 3:16 (cp. Ex 34:34). τὰς ἀγκύρας περιελόντες εἴων they cast off or slipped the anchors and let them go (i.e. they let go the ropes that held the anchors and thus abandoned them) Ac 27:40.—If the rdg. of the text 28:13 περιελόντες abs. is to be retained, the sense we got underway requires that τὰς ἀγκύρας be supplied=‘we weighed anchor’ (so NRSV; AAcworth, JTS 24, ’73, 193, favors the reading, but renders ‘fetched a compass’=made a change in direction). But Blass ad loc. rejects this rdg., and the sense assigned to it here is admittedly speculative (Metzger ad loc.). Haenchen suggests παρελθόντες ‘sailing along (the coast)’. REB: ‘we sailed up the coast’ (perh. rdg. περιελθόντε v.l. [so NRB ‘we sailed round’, s. The Greek NT, ed. RTasker ’64]; this v.l. also HConzelmann, Hermeneia: Acts, ‘we sailed along the coast’).② to do away with, take away, remove (Ex 8:4, 27) ἁμαρτίας Hb 10:11 (the ‘removal’ of sin by God is also mentioned: 1 Ch 21:8; Zeph 3:11, 15.

Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `sea-shore, beach'; also GN, e. g. the coast of Achaia (Il.).Dialectal forms: Myc. aikiharijo prob. \/ aigihalio-\/ AJ 134Derivatives: αἰγιάλειος, αἰγιαλεύς are late, hell. ( Αἰγιαλεῖς name of the inhabitants of the coast of Achaia Hdt.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The Myc. form seems to confirm derivation of the second element from ἅλς. To ἅλλομαι, Kretschmer Glotta 27, 28f. with Bechtel Lex. For the first part one compares αἶγες τὰ κύματα. Δωριεῖς H. (and Artem. 2, 12: καὶ γὰρ τὰ μεγάλα κύματα αἶγας ἐν τῃ̃ συνηθείᾳ λέγομεν). But αἶγες = κύματα could be just a metaphorical use of αἴξ `goat'. Heubeck IF 68 (1963) 13-21 `heftig [von den Wogen] besprungen'; not very probable. - Pre-Greek acc. to Chantr.

Mitt. 31, 143). ἀκτάζω `banquet' (from *`banquet on the shore'?), Plu. 2, 668 b; or from 2. ἁκτή?Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Derivation from ἀκ- `sharp' is "allenfalls möglich" (Frisk), but Fur. 127 compares ὄχθη, - ος which is quite convincing; so it is a substr. word.

17 κόλπος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `bosom, lap, gulf, bay, vale, womb' (Il.), also `fistulous ulcer under the skin' with κολπάριον `id.' (medic.).Compounds: As 2. member e. g. in βαθύ-κολπος `with folds of the garment falling down deep' (Il.).Derivatives: κολπώδης `bosom-like, full of bays' (E., Plb.); κολπίας `swelling in folds' ( πέπλος, A. Pers. 1060), `wind blowing from the bay', ἐγκολπίας `id.' (Arist.); Κολπίτης m. old name of Phoenicia (Steph. Byz.), pl. "inhabitants of the coast", name of an uncivilised people on the Red Sea (Philostr.; Redard Les noms grecs en - της 23, cf. also below on διακολπιτεύω); κολπόομαι, - όω `form a fold' (B., Hp.) with κόλπωσις, - ωμα `folding', - ωτός `folded'. Several prefixed forms in diff. functions; most hell.: ἐγ-, ἐπι-, ὑπο-κόλπιος, ἀνα-, ἐγ-, ἐπι-κολπόω, ἐγ-, κατα-, περι-κολπίζω etc. However ( δια-)κολπιτεύω `smuggle' ( PTeb. 709, 9; 14; IIa) hardly with Olsson Eranos 48, 157 to κόλπος `bosom', but rather to the people's-name Κολπῖται "inhabit. of the coast" (s. a.); thus ἔλαιον κολπιτικόν ( PTeb. 38, 12 u. 125; IIa) `smuggle-oil'.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: As κόλπος may stand for *κϜόλπος (s. Schwyzer 302, Lejeune Traité de phon. 72 n. 3), κόλπος can be connected with Germ. NHG wölben, as verbal noun (*"vaulting") to the in MHG walb `vaulted', OWNo, holfinn `id.' preserved primary verb, with as causative OWNo. huelfa, OHG (h)welben `vault', OE bi-hwelbian `vault above'. But for the gender κόλπος would be identical with OWNo. hualf, OE hwealf f. `vault' (Zupitza Die germ. Gutturale 54). But the comparison with OE heofon-hwealf `vault of heaven': αἰθέρος κόλποι (Pi. O. 13, 88) says nothing on the etymology, as the poetical Gr. expression is based on the idea of bosom. - Other connections, with Lat. calpar `earthen wine-vessel', culcita `cushion' etc. (s. W.-Hofmann s. vv., also Bq) have no value; wrong also Mann Lang. 17, 14. - From κόλπος VLat. colphus \> Ital. golfo.Page in Frisk: 1,904-905Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κόλπος

18 πέρᾱ
πέρᾱGrammatical information: adv., also as prep. w. gen.Meaning: `beyond, further, longer, more, past' (Att.).Derivatives: Besides πέρᾱν, Ion. - ην adv., also prep. w. gen. `over, across, beyond, opposite to' (Il.). -- Adj. περαῖος `ulterior', esp. ἡ περαία ( χώρα, γῆ) `the country on the other side', also as PN (Hdt., A. R., Plb., Str.). From it 1. Περαΐτης m. `inhabitant of the Περαία' (J.; Redard 26 and 239 n. 24); 2. περαιόθεν `from the other side' (A. R., Arat.); 3. περαιόομαι, - όω, also w. δια- a.o., `to cross over, to bring over' (since ω 437), `to accomplish' (Gort.), `to end' (medic.) with περαίωσις f. `crossing' (Str., Plu.). -- Denominative verb περάω, aor. - ᾶσαι, Ion. - ῆσαι, also w. prefix, esp. δια- and ἐκ-, `to pass through, to go through, to travel through, to go beyond, to reach the end' (Il.) with ( δια-)πέρ-αμα n. `crossing' (Str.), ἐκπέρ-αμα n. `coming out of' (A.), πέρ-ασις f. `stepping through' (S.), - άσιμος `crossable, passable' (E., Str.); - ατός, Ion. - ητός `id.' (Pi., Hdt.); - ατής m. `ferryman' (Suid., Procl.); but in the sense of `stranger, emigrant' (LXX) prob. from πέρᾱ(ν); thus περᾱ-τικός `coming from a strange (ulterior) country, foreign' (Peripl. M. Rubr.), and - τός `id.' (pap. IIIa). -- Often w. strengthening ἀντι-: ἀντι-πέραια n. pl. `the stretches of coast on the opposite side' (Β 635), - αια f. sg. (A. R., Nonn.); ἀντι-πέρας `opposite to' (Th., X.; on the ending below), - πέραν, - ην (hell.), -πέρᾱ (Ev. Luc.) `id.'; - πέρηθε(ν) `from the opposite coast' (A. R., AP).Etymology: Both πέρᾱ and πέρᾱν are frozen caseforms, the latter acc. of a noun *πέρᾱ f. (Schwyzer 621), the first polyinterpret. (instr. f. or nom. pl. n.?). To this were adapted, prob. as innovations, the gen. in ἀντι-πέρας and in ἐκ πέρας Ναυπακτίας (A. Supp. 262) as well as the nominal acc. in Χαλκίδος πέραν ἔχων (A.Ag. 190 [lyr.]) and in πέρανδε (Argos Va). -- With πέρᾱ may be equated formally Skt. párā and Av. para `off, away, on the side'; these belong to the adj. Skt. pára-, Av. OP. para- `farther, of the other side'. Uncertain is the comparison of πέρᾱν with Lat. per-peram `wrong, false', s. W.-Hofmann s. v.

20 Φοῖνιξ
III. Φοῖνιξ, ικος, ὁ a seaport mentioned Ac 27:12. Two sites merit attention. The Phoinix mentioned Strabo 10, 4, 3 (475) lying in the territory of Lappa, some distance to the east fr. Loutro (s. 1), is not a serious contender; for, if correctly identified, it lacks a harbor.① Phoinix (Ptolemy, Geogr. 3, 17, 3; Stadiasmus sive Periplus Maris Magni [a Byzantine version of a 3d cent. A.D. anonymous work] 328–29 [=GGM I 507f]) on the south coast of Crete near Loutro. On the protection offered to mariners by this harbor s. esp. Ogilvie, also Hemer, Acts 139 (lit.); but Warnecke discounts its value, given the size of the ship and the large number of crew and passengers (Ac 27:37), and favors② Phoinikous (Ptolemy, Geogr. 3, 15, 3; Pausan. 4, 34, 12) on the southern coast of the area known as Messenia (Od. 21:15). According to Warnecke 28f (but without supporting grammatical references), the phrase λιμὴν τῆς Κρήτης means ‘a harbor for Crete’ (=a harbor suitable for trade to and fro fr. Crete). Paul’s anxiety would stem from awareness of the type of weather conditions that would put mariners in peril on a trip from Crete to Messenian Phoinikous (cp. Hom., Od. 3, 291–98).—HBalmer, D.
