Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Like δόλος, the verb is found in P Leid X v. 87 and xii. 2 (iii/iv A.D.)—κασσίτερον γνῶναι εἰ δεδόλωται · χωνεύσας αὐτὸν κτλ., and δολοῦται χρυσὸς εἰς αὔξησιν μισύει καὶ γῇ Σινοπίδι κτλ. See also Syll 802.102 (iii/B.C.) δολωθεὶς ὑπὸ ματρυιᾶς, and Vettius Valens p. 248.2 ὁπόταν δὲ κακωθῇ, δολουμένη ἀδιανόητος γίνεται. Our first instance reinforces Grimm’s quotation from Lucian and Thayer’s from Dioscurides to make clear the metaphor of 2 Corinthians 4:2.
