Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
περιβλέπομαι. For the act. = ‘‘look round,”’ cf. BGU IV. 10978 (i/a.D.) Hav δὲ ὁ ἀντίδικος ἀναβῇ, περιβλέπε αὐτόν. In the NT the verb is used only in the mid., and chiefly with reference to the quick, searching glance of Christ. The verbal περίβλεπτος is common in late papyri as a form of address, e.g. P Oxy XVI. 1868 verso (vi/vii A.D.) τῷ τὰ πάντα λαμπρο(τάτῳ) Kal περιβλέπτῳ Kdpe(TL), ‘to the in all respects most illustrious and most admired ον ἢ: cf. the subst. in BGU II. 5473 (Byz.) παρακαλῶ τὴν ὑμετέραν περιβλεπτίότητα.
