Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀνταποκρίνομαι; 1 aorist passive ἀνταπεκριθην (see ἀποκρίνω, ii.); to contradict in reply, to answer by contradicting, reply against: τίνι πρός τί, Luk 14:6; (the Sept. Jdg 5:29 (Alex.); Job 16:8; Job 32:12; Aesop fab. 172 edition de Furia (p. 353, Coray edition)). Hence, equivalent to to altercate, dispute: with the dative of person Rom 9:20. (In a mathematical sense, to correspond to each other or be parallel, in Nicomachus Gerasenus, arithm. 1, 8, 11, p. 77 a. (p. 17, Hoche edition).) Cf. Winer’s De verb. comp. etc. Part iii., p. 17.
