"round about, or all round" (from kuklos, "a circle, cycle"), is found in the Apocalypse only, 4:3,4,8.
the dative case of kuklos (see above), means "round about," lit., "in a circle." It is used in the same way as No. 1, Mark 3:34; 6:6,36; Luke 9:12; Romans 15:19; Revelation 4:6; 5:11; 7:11 .
an indefinite particle, signifying "somewhere, somewhere about, nearly," has a limiting force, with numerals, e.g., Romans 4:19 . In referring to a passage in the OT, it is translated "somewhere," in the RV of Hebrews 2:6; 4:4 (AV, "in a certain place"); by not mentioning the actual passage referred to, the writer acknowledged the familiar acquaintance of his readers with the OT. See PLACE.
usually means "as." Used with numerals it signifies "about," e.g., Mark 5:13; 8:9 John 1:40; 6:19; 11:18; Acts 1:15; Revelation 8:1 .
"as if," before numerals, denotes "about, nearly, something like," with perhaps an indication of greater indefiniteness than No. 4, e.g., Matthew 14:21; Luke 3:23; 9:14,28; Acts 2:41; with a measure of space, Luke 22:41 , "about a stone's cast." See LIKE.
signifies (a) "of intention, to be about to do something," e.g., Acts 3:3; 18:14; 20:3; Hebrews 8:5; (b) "of certainty, compulsion or necessity, to be certain to act," e.g., John 6:71 . See ALMOST , BEGIN , COME , INTEND , MEAN , MIND , POINT OF (at), READY , SHALL , SHOULD , TARRY.
