STRONGS G1036:
βυθίζω; [present passive
βυθίζομαι]; (
βυθός, which see);
to plunge into the deep, to sink:
ὥστε βυθίζεσθαι αὐτά, of ships (as Polybius 2, 10, 5; 16, 3, 2 [Aristotle, Diodorus, others]),
so that they began to sink, Luke 5:7; metaphorically,
τινὰ εἰς ὄλεθρον [A. V. drown],
1 Timothy 6:9.
