        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.

        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}).
