Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὀρθοποδέω. This verb used metaphorically ‘‘make a straight course” is found only in Gal 214 and in later eccles. writers, who have borrowed its use from that passage. Westcott (52. Paul and Fustification, 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 Zc. cites ὀρθόποδες βαίνοντες from Nicander «14 410.
