Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this verb which properly means ";dive,"; but is used = ";swim"; in Acts 27:43, Hobart (p. 283) refers to the medical writer Galen, by whom it is used of invalids taking exercise in a swimming-bath (κολυμβήθρα). With ἐκκολυμβάω in Acts 27:42 we may compare Syll 803.20 (iii/B.C.) οὗτος [ ]ποκολυμ [βάσ ]ας εἰς τὰν θ [άλασσ ]αν ἔπειτα δενδρύων (";lurking in the wood";) εἰς τόπον ἀφίκετο ξηρόν. The subst. κολυμβητής is found in Preisigke 3747 (i/B.C.). MGr κολυμπῶ, ";dive,"; ";swim.";
