Exegesis
The comparative construction hōs kai {ὡς καὶ | hōs kai} links Paul’s statement to Greek poetic authority in tines tōn kath’ hymas poiētōn eirēkasin {τινες τῶν καθʼ ὑμᾶς ποιητῶν εἰρήκασιν | ti-nes tōn kath’ hy-mâs poi-ē-tōn ei-rē-ka-sin}, where the genitive case marks association and possession.
Root and etymology
prōt-pi–rho–omega–tau
“first, foremost”
In context — Acts 17:28
For in Him we live and move and exist, as also some of your own poets have said, “For we also are His offspring .”
