Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
ποταπός potapós, pot-ap-os'; apparently from G4219 and the base of G4226; interrogatively, whatever, i.e. of what possible sort:—what (manner of).
STRONGS G4217:
ποταπός ((in Dionysius Halicarnassus, Josephus, Philo, others) for the older ποδαπός (cf. Lob. Phryn., p. 56f; Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 129; Winers Grammar, 24; Curtius, p. 537, 5th edition); according to the Greek grammarians equivalent to ἐκ ποίου δαπεδου, from what region; according to the conjecture of others equivalent to ποῦ ἀπό ((Buttmann, Lexil. 1:126, compares the German wovon)), the delta δ being inserted for the sake of euphony, as in the Latin prodire, prodesse; cf. Fritzsche on Mark, p. 554f (still others regard -δαπος merely as an ending; cf. Apollonius Dyscolus, Buttmann's edition, the index under the word)), ποταπή, ποταπον;
1. from what country, race, or tribe? so from Aeschylus down.
2. from Demosth. down also equivalent to ποῖος, of what sort or quality? (what manner of?): absolutely of persons, Matthew 8:27; 2 Peter 3:11; with a person noun, Luke 7:39; with names of things, Mark 13:1; Luke 1:29; 1 John 3:1.
