πόρρωθεν

Strong’s: G4207

Associated OET lemmas: πόρρωθεν

Notes: 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.

Part of speech: advb.

Related lemmas: πρωτεύω

Sense 1: far ahead of time, long before

Semantic entry: 67.46

Semantic domains: Time

Subdomains: A Point of Time with Reference to Other Points of Time: Before, Long Ago, Now, At the Same Time, When, About, After

Definition: from a point of time considerably prior to another point of time

Notes: It is also possible to interpret πόρρωθεν in OET HEB 11:13 as meaning ‘from afar’ or ‘from a great distance’ (see 83.31: πόρρω / 83.31: πόρρωθεν).
