Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
Μιτυλήνη [page 414]
According to Meisterhans Gr. p. 29 the spelling Μυτιληναῖος is regularly found in the Attic inscrr. from v ii/B.C. , and it is not till B.C. 100 that Μιτυληναῖος , due to dissimilation, takes its place. See however the iii/B.C. papyrus P Petr II. 39 ( a ) .1 Μιτυλην [αίωι . So Act_20:14 , except L which reads Μυτυλίνην (Moulton Gr. ii. p. 79).
