Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀσεβέω [page 83]
OGIS 765 .10 (iii/B.C.) τὸ θεῖον ἠσέβουγ , with external accus., as in Aeschylus Eum. 270 : the more regular construction occurs a few lines further down εἰς τὸ θεῖον ἀσ [ε ]βοῦντα [ς ]. So Syll 190 .4 (see above) τ ]οὺς ἀσεβήσαντας εἰς τὸ ἱερόγ , al. A iv/B.C. inscription in Boeotian dialect, Syll 120 .3 π ]οττὼς ἀσεβίοντας τὸ ἱαρό [ν ] may be added for the accus. construction, also a late inscription from Lyttus, Syll 889 .2 τῷ ἀσεβήσαντι τοὺς δαίμονας . The internal accus. appears in Syll 887 ἀσεβήσ (ει ) τὰ περὶ τοὺς θεούς , as in Jud_1:15 , the only NT occurrence of the verb (according to WH).
