Acts 14:10

ἀνάσ.… ὀρθός : verb, as elsewhere, Acts 9:34; Acts 9:40, but only here with ἐπὶ τοὺς π., hitherto they had been too weak to support him, ὀρθός signifying that he was entirely whole, cf. reading in D. On ὀρθός see Hobart, p. 46: it was frequently used by medical writers, so by Hippocrates and Galen, with ἵστημι; only elsewhere in N.T. in a figurative sense and in a quotation, Hebrews 11:13. The collocation is also found in classical Greek, and cf. 1Es 9:46 (see also Hatch and Redpath), but cf. also ἀνορθόω, Luke 13:13, and the combination in Galen of ὀρθόω and τὸ ἀδύνατον κῶλον. ἥλλετο καὶ περιεπ., see also reading in D. If we read ἥλατο, note aorist and imperfect, he sprang up with a single bound, whilst the walking is a continuous action, or inceptive: “he began to walk”.
