Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὀρθοποδέω [page 456] This verb used metaphorically make a straight course is found only in Gal_2:14 and in later eccles. writers, who have borrowed its use from that passage. Westcott ( St. Paul and Justification , p. 27) thinks that the verb may have been a word of Antioch, or of Tarsus, and that it has a kind of sporting ring about it. Burton ad Gal l.c. cites ὀρθόποδες βαίνοντες from Nicander Al. 419.
