Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Are we to find this verb in BGU I. 246.7 (ii/iii A.D.) ὅτι σὺ αὐτὰ ἐκπλέξ [ει ]ν ὡς ἐργαζομ [έ ]νου μου, cf..10? In the magic P Lond 121.922 (iii/A.D.) (= I. p. 113) for ἐκπλαγήσει the editor proposes (see Index s.v. ) ἐκπλαγὴς εἶ. The passive is found in its usual NT sense in the dialect inscr. Syll 802.46 (iii/B.C.) where with reference to the healing of a dumb boy we read—ὁ δὲ πατὴρ ἐκπλαγεὶς πάλιν [ἐκέλετο αὐ ]τὸν εἰπεῖν · ὁ δ᾽ ἔλεγε πάλιν καὶ ἐκ τούτου ὑ (γ)ιὴς ἐγέ [νετο. See also Aristeas 196 τοῖς ἐγγόνοις παρακελευόμενος μὴ ἐκπλήττεσθαι τῇ δόξῃ μηδὲ τῷ πλούτῳ, ";by warning thy descendants not to be dazzled by fame or wealth"; (Thackeray).
