After the example of the LXX translators of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, this verb, ";commit adultery with,"; is used in the NT with either sex as subject—Mark 10:11 of the man, ib..12 of the woman. According to Wackernagel Hellenistica p. 7 ff. the verb would seem to belong to a ";more vulgar";layer of Hellenistic Greek than μοιχαλίς. For a verb μοιχαίνω (not in LS) see Vett. Val. p. 118.5 πολυκοιτοῦσι δὲ καὶ μοιχαίνουσι καὶ καταφημίζονται.
