This verb used metaphorically ";make a straight course"; is found only in Galatians 2:14 and in later eccles. writers, who have borrowed its use from that passage. Westcott (St. Paul and Justification, p. 27) thinks that the verb may have been a word of Antioch, or of Tarsus, and that it has a kind of ";sporting"; ring about it. Burton ad Gal l.c. cites ὀρθόποδες βαίνοντες from Nicander Al. 419.
