AI Summary
περί is a preposition meaning around, about, used to relate one thing to another either in space or in thought 1234.
Most often it expresses the sense concerning, about, on account of — introducing the subject or matter that something relates to, is said about, or is done because of 124. In this use it appears with a noun in the genitive case, and the phrase "the things concerning" someone or something describes a person's situation or circumstances generally 1. At the start of a sentence it can mean simply "as for," "regarding" 1.
It also has a plainly physical sense, around, about, describing something surrounding or encircling a place or object, as when it is used with a noun in the accusative case 123. From this comes the idiom "those about" a person, meaning that person's companions, associates, or household 13. It is likewise used loosely of time, meaning "about" or "near" a given hour 13.
As part of a compound word, περί can carry the sense of going round about, of going beyond or over and above, or of intensifying an action to the point of excess 13.
