Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
πατρολῴας, ‘*q parricide,”’ is confined in the NT to 1 Tim 1°, where TR reads watpadwas. With the list of vices in which it occurs Deissmann (ZA ΕΚ, p. 321 f.) compares the ‘‘scolding” of Ballio the pander in Plaut. Psewd. I. iii. 134, where it is said to the parricida—verberasti patrem atque matrem, with the scornful answer—a/gue occidé quogue potius quam cthum praehiberem. The classical πατραλοίας seems to make ‘ father-thrasher”’ (ἀλο(ι)άω) the original meaning.
