English (LSJ)

   A v. ὀπτάζομαι.

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

ὀπτάνομαι: ὀπτάζομαι, Ἑβδ. (Γ΄ Βασιλ. Η΄, 8., Τωβίτ ΙΒ΄, 12), ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς Πράξ. Ἀπ. α΄, 3, Ἑρμ. Τρισμ. 31. 15.

English (Strong)

a (middle voice) prolonged form of the primary (middle voice) optomai; which is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alternate of ὁράω; to gaze (i.e. with wide-open eyes, as at something remarkable; and thus differing from βλέπω, which denotes simply voluntary observation; and from εἴδω, which expresses merely mechanical, passive or casual vision; while θεάομαι, and still more emphatically its intensive θεωρέω, signifies an earnest but more continued inspection; and σκοπέω a watching from a distance): appear, look, see, shew self.
