         Comments: Though the terms ἐπιβλέπω, {L:ἐπεῖδον} (ἐφοράω), and ὁράω suggest as a result of their central meanings some measure of visual perception, what is involved in these specific contexts is much more than visual perception. The focus is actually upon intellectual activity and concern.|For another interpretation of ἐπιβλέπω in {S:04200903800024}, see {D:35.8}.
