STRONGS G3898:
παραπλησίως, adverb (
παραπλήσιος, see
παραπλήσιον),
similarly, in like manner, in the same way:
Hebrews 2:14 (where it is equivalent to
κατά πάντα Hebrews 2:17, and hence, is used of a similarity which amounts to equality, as in the phrase
ἀγωνίζεσθαι παραπλ. to fight with equal advantage, aequo Marte,
Herodotus 1, 77; so too the adjective,
σύ δέ ἄνθρωπος ὤν παραπλήσιος τοῖς ἄλλοις,
πλήν γέ δή ὅτι πολυπράγμων καί ἀτάσθαλος κτλ., the words in which an oriental sage endeavors to tame the pride of Alexander the Great,
Arrian, exp. Alex. 7, 1, 9 (6)).
