Unlike ὁδός, πορεία, ";a journey,"; is rarely used in a metaphorical sense, but cf. Psa. 67꞉25 [MT Psalms 68:24]. With reference to James 1:11 Hort, following Herder, makes the happy suggestion that the force lies in the idea of the rich man’s perishing ";while he is still on the move, before he has attained the state of restful enjoyment which is always expected and never arrives."; In Syll.3 1267.19 (iii/A.D.) Isis announces—ἐγὼ ἡλίου καὶ σελήνης πορείαν συνέταξα.
In P Grenf I. 43.8 (ii/B.C.) (= Witkowski.2, p. 109) πορεία denotes ";passport"; for a journey, and it is = ";caravan"; in P Lond 328.11 (A.D. 163) (= II. p. 75), where mention is made of camels provided—εἰς κυριακὰς χρείας τῶν ἀπὸ Βερνείκης γεινο (μένων) πορ <ε >ιῶν, ";for Imperial service on the caravans that travel from Berenice"; (Ed.).
For a wider use of the word cf. P Amh II. 97.11 (A.D. 180–192) καθὼς διὰ τῆς τοῦ ὁρισμοῦ πορείας δηλοῦ [τ ]αι, ";as is set forth in the survey"; (Edd.). Πορεῖον is used collectively in P Cairo Zen 22.3 (B.C. 256) : see Mayser Gr. II. i. p. 36.
