Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
παραλέγομαι. For the meaning ‘‘ coast along” in Ac 275, Field (Wo/es, p- 143f.) cites Diod. Sic. xiii. 3 κἀκεῖθεν ἤδη παρελέγοντο τὴν ᾿Ιταλίαν, xiv. 55 αἱ δὲ τριήρεις ἔπλευσαν εἰς τὴν Λιβύην, παρελέγοντο δὲ τὴν γῆν. In BGU II. 665" 14 (i/A.D.) ἐνετείλατο γὰρ θέων παρα[λ]έγων, the verb seems to refer to casual, incidental speech.
