UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament

πόρρω (G4206) — πορρώτερον

advb. | πρωτεύω

83.31 · Spacial Positions · At, Beside, Near, Far

far away, at a distance, a long way off a position at a relatively great distance, with the possible implication of comparison

MAT 15:8 · MRK 7:6 · LUK 14:32

83.32 · (πορρώτερον) · Spacial Positions · At, Beside, Near, Far

further, farther a position at an even greater distance than πόρρω ‘far away’ (83.31)

LUK 24:28

¹ It is possible that πόρρωθεν[b] differs in meaning from πόρρω in emphasizing the degree of separation, but this cannot be determined from existing contexts. ² πορρώτερον may be regarded simply as a comparative form of πόρρω, and hence πορρώτερον could be combined with πόρρω and πόρρωθεν[b] in 83.31.
