to take away
paraphero describes taking a cup away in prayer and being carried away or along by an outside influence.
The attested uses divide evenly between a request that a cup be removed and passive descriptions of people or clouds being carried by something else. In the prayer scenes the action concerns the cup; in the other clauses it depicts movement or influence imposed from outside.
