1 It is possible that there are slight distinctions in meaning between παρέρχομαι[a], παραπορεύομαι, and παράγω[b] in view of certain distinctions of meaning in ἔρχομαι, πορεύομαι, and ἄγω (especially in the sense of ὑπάγω). παρέρχομαι[a] may therefore be judged to be more generic in meaning, while παραπορεύομαι may refer specifically to walking along, and παράγω[b] may involve primarily the act of passing beyond a particular point.
