Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀποτόμως [page 71]
For the adj. in its literal sense cut off, cf. an inscription from Delos . BCH xxvii. p. 102 .149 (B.C. 250) τῶν στροφέων ἀπότομον μῆκος πήχεων πέντε . In Cagnat III. 360 .9 (Pamphylia, Imperial) ὀξέσι σιδηροῖς καὶ ἀποτόμοις is believed to describe regular sharp weapons dealt out to gladiators for combat, in place of the blunt ones which the blasι populace found insufficiently exciting. In Wis_11:10 it denotes God s retributive purposes towards Egypt, in contrast with His fatherly attitude to Israel at the Exodus.
