In saluting, paying homage, supplicating, etc., persons are said πρός τούς πόδας τίνος πίπτειν or προσπίπτειν: Mar 5:22; Mar 7:25; Luk 8:41; Luk 17:16 παρά); Rev 1:17; εἰς τούς πόδας τίνος, Mat 18:29 (Rec.); Joh 11:32 (here T Tr WH πρός); πίπτειν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ποδῶν τίνος, Rev 19:10; προσκυνεῖν ἔμπροσθεν (or ἐνώπιον) τῶν ποδῶν τίνος, Rev 3:9; Rev 22:8; πεσών ἐπί τούς πόδας, Act 10:25. By a poetic usage that member of the body which is the chief organ or instrument in any given action is put for the man himself (see γλῶσσα, 1); thus οἱ πόδες τίνος is used for the man in motion: Luk 1:79 (Psalm 118:101 (); Act 5:9; Rom 3:15; Rom 10:15; Heb 12:13.
