Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'In both instances ({D:15.118} and {D:15.119}) καταπίπτω may be somewhat more emphatic in meaning than πίπτω in view of the prefixial form κατα.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'πίπτω[c] and προσπίπτω[a] ({D:17.22}) differ to some extent from προσκυνέω[b] ({D:17.21}) in that they focus primarily upon the actual position rather than upon the intent of showing reverence or making supplication. προσκυνέω[b] is the more formal term and focuses more upon the attitude of reverence or honor.'}]

    DefinitionShort: to prostrate oneself before someone, implying supplication{N:002}
    Glosses: ['to prostrate oneself before', 'to fall down before']
    Comments: A strictly literal translation of προσπίπτω[a] or πίπτω[c], namely, to fall down before, can be entirely misleading in that it may suggest an accident caused by stumbling or tripping. It may therefore be necessary in a number of languages to translate to bow down low before or to bow down to the ground before.

    DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:πίπτω}[a] ‘to fall,’ {D:15.118}) to fall down, as a euphemistic expression for a violent death
    Glosses: to die
    Comments: It is rare that one can employ a literal meaning of πίπτω as a euphemistic expression for ‘dying,’ since receptors are too likely to understand ‘to fall’ in a purely literal sense.

    Comments: In this particular context it may be necessary to be somewhat more specific concerning the blindness that Elymas experienced. For example, one may render this expression as ‘suddenly a dark mist covered his eyes’ or ‘suddenly the eyes of Elymas became dark and misty’ (see {D:24.40}).
