Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For ἐ. of travelling on business, as in James 4:13, see the question addressed to the oracle of Zeus at Dodona, Syll 800 (iii/B.C. ?) ἦ τυγχάνοιμί κα ἐμπορευόμενος κτλ. The verb has nothing to do with πορεύομαι : its meaning is entirely determined by ἔμπορος (see below), but, had there been no πορεύομαι, the verb would more probably have been ἐμπορέω, cf. Moulton Gr. ii. § 118(a).
