Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀντιμετρέω. For this rare NT word (Lk 6538) Herwerden refers to the Byzantine Theophyl. Sim. p. 48, 25 (I. 5, 5) ἀ. ἀμοιβὴν ἀξίαν τοῖς βεβιωμένοις. Grimm cites Lucian, Amor. 19, which is stronger evidence for its ‘ profaneness.” > , ἀντιμισθία. No instance of this Pauline word (Rom 157, 2 Cor 63) seems as yet to have been found outside Christian literature, This, however, may be wholly accidental; and there is certainly nothing in the word itself to exclude it from the ordinary terminology of the day: see for further examples of the same kind Nageli p. 50 ff.
