ὁδός, -οῦ, ἡ,

[in LXX chiefly (very freq.) for דֶּרֶךְ;]

a way, path, road: Mt 2:12, Mk 10:46, Lk 3:5, al.; κατὰ τὴν ὁ., Lk 10:4, al.; παρὰ τὴν ὁ., Mt 13:4, al.; c. gen. pers, (subj.), τὴν ὁ. ἑτοιμάζειν (fig.), Mt 3:3, Mk 1:3, al.; c. gen. term. (obj.), ἐθνῶν, Mt 10:5; τ. ἁγίων (fig.), He 9:8; acc., ὁδόν, with force of prep. (like Heb. דֶּרֶךְ; Bl., § 34, 8; 35, 5), ὁ. θαλάσσης, Mt 4:15(LXX).

A traveller's way, journey: ἐν τ. ὁ., Mt 5:25, Mk 8:27, al.; ἐξ ὁ., Lk 11:6; εἰς ὁ., Mt 10:10; τ. ὁδὸν πορεύεσθαι, Ac 8:39; ὁ. ἡμέρας, Lk 2:44; ὁδὸν ποιεῖν (= cl., ὁ. ποιεῖσθαι; v. Field, Notes, 25), to make one's way, i.e. proceed on one's journey, Mk 2:23.

Metaph. (cl.; but esp. freq. in Heb.; v. Cremer, 442 ff.), of a course of conduct, a way of thinking or acting: Ac 14:16, I Co 4:17 12:31, Ja 1:8 5:20; τοῦ Κάϊν, Ju 11; τ.

Ellipsis of ὁ.: ποίας (sc. ὁδοῦ), Lk 5:19; ἐκείνης, ib. 19:4 (v. Bl., § 36, 13; 44, 1).

ὁδός in its ordinary sense of ‘‘ way,” ‘‘road,’’ is seen in such passages as P Petr I. 211} (B.c. 237) ὁδὸς δημοσία, 20. 237 (ili/B.c.) (p. [66]) ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλικῆς ὁδοῦ, P Lond τοῦ] (ili/B.c.) (= L. p. 61) τά τε σκεύη μου ἐξέρριψεν εἰς τὴν ὁδόν, P Fay 111° (A.D. 95-6) ἀπὸ τοῦ σκυλμοῦ τῆς ὧ(-Ξ δ)δοῦ, ‘‘owing to the fatigue of the journey” (Edd.), and P Oxy VII. 1068%° (iii/A.pD.) καθ᾽ ὁδόν, ‘‘on the road” (cf. Lk 104, a/.). For the metaphorical usage we may cite P Lond 8977 (a.p. 84) (= III. p. 207) in which a man writes that, in view of the treatment received on his last visit, he will not return to the Arsinoite nome, unless his correspondent can find some ‘‘way” of preventing a repetition of the injury—édy δὲ μὴ ἦσα (/. ἦσθα) εὑρηκώς τινα ὁδὸν γράψον μοι κτλ. In the note on P Strass II. 8555 (B.C. 113) it is suggested that the true reading of P Lond 8803 (B.c. 119) (= III. p. 9) is πλατεία ὁδὸς τῶν θεῶν. The Christian letter P Oxy XII. 14948 (eariy iv/A.D.) shows us ὁδὸς εὐθεῖα, as in 2 Pet 2!°. For the difficult ὁδὸν θαλάσσης in Mt 4), see McNeile’s note ad ἃ
