Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
στρῆνος [page 594]
wantonness, luxury ( Rev_18:3 ). Apparently the earliest instance of this word is in the iv /B. C. comic poet Nicostratus (see Kock CAF ii. p. 230, No. 42), if the fragment is genuine. Unfortunately the word stands alone without context. It occurs later in Lycophron 438 (iii/B.C.) and the LXX : cf. 4Ki. 19:28 [MT 2Ki_19:28 ] τὸ στρῆνός σου ἀνέβη ἐν τοῖς ὠσίν μου said of the Assyrian King.
