ⓔ w. dat. and prep. κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἐποίουν τοῖς προφήταις οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν Lk 6:23; cp. vs. 26.

⑤ do, make, with variations in specialized expressions

Ant. 6, 18 μῆνας τέσσαρας; cp. our colloquial ‘do time’. Demosth. 19, 163 and Pla., Phileb. 50d are wrongly cited in this connection, as shown by WSchulze, Graeca Latina 1901, 23f) χρόνον (Dionys.

The acc. belonging to it is easily supplied fr. the context: λέγουσιν καὶ οὐ ποιοῦσιν they say (it), but do not do or keep (it) Mt 23:3c (the contrast is not betw. speaking [λαλεῖν] and acting in general).—2 Cor 8:10f (s.

IV Π personified as father of Ἔρως, Pl.Smp. 203b.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to perforate, to pierce, to pervade'; as simplex ep. poet., w. prefix also (late) prose. On the aorist πορεῖν s. v.

Other forms: Aor. πεῖραι, perf. midd. πέπαρμαι (Il.), aor. pass. παρῆναι (Hdt.).

Compounds: Often w. prefix, e.g. δια-, ἀνα-, κατα-, περι-.

Derivatives: (Very condensed survey): A. From the full grade: 1. διαμπερ-ές adv. `right through, continuously' (Il., Schwyzer 513). 2. περ-όνη f. `brooch, buckle' (Il.; like βελ-όνη, ἀκ-όνη a.o.) with - ονίς, - όνιον, - ονίδιον, - ονάω, - όνημα, - ονητήρ, - ονητρίς. -- B. From the full grade with o (1. and 2. semantically independent of the verb): 1. πόρος m. `passage, ford, narrowing, journey, road, way; means, way out', pl. `earnings' (Il.) with a. πορ-εύς, - ιμος; b. πορ-εύομαι, - εύω `to carry, to provide' (IA.), from which - εία, - εῖον, - ευμα, - ευσις, - ευτικός; c. πορ-ίζω, - ίζομαι `to bring about, to provide oneself' (IA.), from which - ισμός, - ισμα, - ιστής, - ιστικός. As 2. member a. o. in ἄ-πορος `with no way out, impassable, destitute' (Pi., IA.) with ἀπορ-έω, - ία. 2. πορ-θμός m. `ferry (ferry place, ferry road), strait, sound' (IA.; like στα-θμός a.o.) with - θμίς, - θμιος, - θμικός, - θμεύς, - θμεύω, - θμεία, - θμεῖον, - θμευμα u.a. - On πόρπη, πόρπαξ s.v.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [816] * per- `bring over'

Etymology: With the yot-present πείρω agrees phonet. and semant. OCS na-perjǫ `pierce'; the aorist πεῖραι has a formal agreement in Skt. aor. subj. párṣat(i) `may he carry over' (IE * per-s-); here the reduplicated pres. pí-par-ti. The meaning `carry over, ferry over' is still found in Greek in πόρος, πορθμός. Beside πόρος stands in Germ. a corresponding IE ā-stem, OWNo. fǫr, OE faru f. `voyage, expedition' (would be Gr. *πορά); here further Thrac. PN in - παρος, - παρα. The family has further a great many representatives in several languages, e.g. in Latin por-ta, - tus, - tāre, in Germ. OHG etc. faran `fare', in Armen. heriwn `piercer', which learn nothing for πείρω a. con.; s. also πορεῖν (and πέρνημι)}. -- WP. 2, 39 f., Pok. 816f., W.-Hofmann s. porta, Mayrhofer s. píparti² w. further details a. lit.
