Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

πεζῇ. For the contrast in Mk 6f between ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, ‘in the boat,” and πεζῇ (sc. ὁδῷ), ‘‘ by land,’’ cf. PSI V. 44618 (A.D. 133-7) μήτε πλέοντι μήτε πεΐῃ βαδί[ζον)τι, and Artem. p. 182! τοῖς διαποροῦσι πότερον πεζῇ ἀπιτέον αὐτοῖς ἢ κατὰ πλοῦν συμβουλεύει πεζῆ. In P Tebt I. 538 (B.c. 118) the word is found witn the two meanings ‘‘on foot’ and ““by land,” opjolws δὲ καὶ τοὺς πεζῆι ἀ[ν]απορε[νυομένους] ἐκ τῆς πόλεως τὴν [ἄ͵γουσαν πεζὴν ὁδὸν. . ., “likewise persons who travel on foot up the country from Alexandria by the land-route which leads . . .” (Edd.).
