Untersuch., p. 48), ποδός, ὁ (allied with πέδον, πέζα, Latinpes, etc.; Curtius, § 291; Vanicek, p. 473), dative plural ποσίν, from Homer down, Hebrew ψΖβΖμ; a foot, both of men and of beasts: Mat_4:6; Mat_7:6; Mat_22:13; Mar_9:45; Luk_1:79; Joh_11:44; Act_7:5; 1Co_12:15; Rev_10:2, and often. From the oriental practice of placing the foot upon the vanquished (Jos_10:24), come the follow expressions: ὑπό τούς πόδας συντρίβειν ((which see) τινα, Rom_16:20; ὑποτάσσειν τινα, 1Co_15:27; Eph_1:22; Heb_2:8; τιθέναι, 1Co_15:25; τιθέναι τινα ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν, Mat_22:44 L T Tr WH; ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν, Mat_22:44 R G; Mar_12:36 (here WH ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν); Luk_20:43; Act_2:35; Heb_1:13; Heb_10:13; disciples listening to their teacher's instruction are said παρά (or πρός) τούς πόδας τίνος καθῆσθαι or παρακαθισαι, Luk_10:39; Act_22:3, cf.

In saluting, paying homage, supplicating, etc., persons are said πρός τούς πόδας τίνος πίπτειν or προσπίπτειν: Mar_5:22; Mar_7:25; Luk_8:41; Luk_17:16 παρά); Rev_1:17; εἰς τούς πόδας τίνος, Mat_18:29 (Rec.); Joh_11:32 (here T Tr WH πρός); πίπτειν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ποδῶν τίνος, Rev_19:10; προσκυνεῖν ἔμπροσθεν (or ἐνώπιον) τῶν ποδῶν τίνος, Rev_3:9; Rev_22:8; πεσών ἐπί τούς πόδας, Act_10:25. By a poetic usage that member of the body which is the chief organ or instrument in any given action is put for the man himself (see γλῶσσα, 1); thus οἱ πόδες τίνος is used for the man in motion: Luk_1:79 (Psalm 118:101 (); Act_5:9; Rom_3:15; Rom_10:15; Heb_12:13.

ποῦς [page 531] P Ryl II. 157 .21 (A.D. 135) εἰ χρεία γείνοιτο [ποτίσαι ἐ ]ν̣ ἀναβάσει ἀπὸ ποδὸς τὴν αὐτὴν νοτίνην μερίδα , if need arises at the inundation to water the same southern portion with the foot (Edd.), a passage which recalls Deu_11:10 : similarly P Flor III. 369 .7 (A.D. 139(149)) μέχρι τ [οῦ ἐ ]σομένου ἀπὸ ποδὸς ποτισ [μ ]οῦ . With Rev_3:9 cf. PSI IV. 298 .20 (iv/A.D.) ἠπείχθη [ν π ]ροσφυγεῖν τοῖς πο [σίν σου , δέσποτα , ἀξιῶν . . . In P Iand 18 .8 (vi/vii A.D.) γράφω σοι κατὰ πόδα του̣των , the phrase = brevissimo post (Ed.), or on the back of this, immediately after this. Thackeray renders Atisteas 135 παρὰ πόδας ἔχοντες τὴν ἀναισθησίαν , although their senselessness is obvious. Commenting on Rev_10:1 ( ICC ad l. ) Charles points out that οἱ πόδες should be rendered the legs, and supports this meaning by the secondary meaning of the Heb. ψΘπΘμ = leg (see BDB Lex. s.v. ), and by the fact that in Palestinian Aramaic the word is used for the thigh of an animal. He adds it is possible that this secondary meaning of ποῦς (when used as a rendering of the Hebrew) was not unexampled at the time. In these circumstances it is interesting to note that in the papyri there are instances of ποῦς , which imply leg rather than foot, e.g. P Giss I. 43 .14 (A.D. 118 119) οὐλ (ὴ ) κν̣ήμ (ηι ) ποδ (ὸς ) ἀριστερο̣υ̣̑ , a wound on the calf of the left leg, P Flor 1. 42 .9 (A.D. 183) οὐλὴ μηρω̣̑ [πο ]δὸς δεξιοῦ , a wound on the thigh (or legbone) of the right leg, and P Lips I. 12 .3 (iii/iv A.D.) οὐλὴ ἀντικνημίῳ δεξιοῦ ποδός .
