About:
a-bout': The use of this word as a preposition, in the sense of "around," is confined to the Old Testament. In the New Testament, generally an adverb, for Greek hos or "hosei." The Revised Version (British and American) adopts it in several idiomatic translations of mello, referring to what is about to be, i.e. on the point of occurring, or immediately impending, amending the King James Version, in Ac 5:35; 27:2; Re 12:4, etc.

A-2AdverbStrong's Number: g2945Greek: kukloAbout:
the dative case of kuklos (see above), means "round about," lit., "in a circle." It is used in the same way as No. 1, Mar 3:34; 6:6, 36; Luk 9:12; Rom 15:19; Rev 4:6; 5:11; 7:11.
A-3AdverbStrong's Number: g4225Greek: pouAbout:
an indefinite particle, signifying "somewhere, somewhere about, nearly," has a limiting force, with numerals, e.g., Rom 4:19.

"as if," before numerals, denotes "about, nearly, something like," with perhaps an indication of greater indefiniteness than No. 4, e.g., Mat 14:21; Luk 3:23; 9:14, 28; Act 2:41; with a measure of space, Luk 22:41, "about a stone's cast."

See ALMOST, BEGIN, COME, INTEND, MEAN, MIND, POINT OF (at), READY, SHALL, SHOULD, TARRY.
