Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

λιθοβολέω. With this compound, which is rare outside Biblical Greek (cf. Anz Suébsidia, p. 366), we may compare λιθοκοπέω (not found in LS), for which Mayser (G7. p. 461) cites P Vat F?° (Mai V. 356) (B.c. 157), 2d. E?® (Mai V. 354), although in both places Mai reads λιθοκοπετέω.
