ἀστατέω, ἀστάτω; (ἄστατος unstable, strolling about; cf. ἀκατάστατος); to wander about, to rove without a settled abode (A. V. to have no certain dwelling-place): 1Co_4:11. (Anthol. Pal. appendix 39, 4.)

ἀστατέω as tateō 1x to be unsettled, to be a wanderer, be homeless, 1Co_4:11

**† ἀστατέω , -ῶ ( < ἄστατος , unstable ), [in Aq .: Isa_58:7 ( LXX , ἄστεγος ) * ;] to be unsettled, be homeless, lead a vagabond life ( Cremer , 738 MM , s.v. ): 1Co_4:11 †

ἀστατέω [page 86] In Isa_58:7 Aquila substitutes ἀστατοῦντας for LXX ἀστέγους , while in Gen_4:12 Symmachus translates πΘς εΘπΘγ a fugitive and a vagabond by ἀνάστατος καὶ ἀκατάστατος . There would seem therefore to be a certain degree of unsettlement associated with the word; and accordingly Field ( Notes , p. 170) proposes to render 1Co_4:11 καὶ ἀστατοῦμεν by and are vagabonds, or and lead a vagabond life. Grimm gives no profane warrant but a passage in the Anthology. We can add Vettius Valens, p.116 .30 : the entrance of Mercury into a certain horoscope will produce πρακτικοὶ . . . καὶ εὐεπίβολοι καὶ φρόνιμοι καὶ ἐπαφρόδιτοι , πολύκοιτοι δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ πολὺ ἀστατοῦντες περὶ τοὺς γάμους , very inconstant. He has the adj. p. 57 .6 ἄστατος καὶ ἐπίφοβος διάξει he will live an unsettled life and liable to panic. It occurs also in Epicurus 65 .10 τὴν δὲ τύχην ἄστατον ὁρᾶν (Linde Epic. p. 36, where literary parallels are given).
