(In earlier Greek only poetic (Homer, others) for the more common κρατερός; but later, used in prose also (Plutarch, others).)

That this ";poetic"; word also formed part of the common stock of the Κοινή is shown by its occurrence not only in the LXX and NT, but in the magic papyri, e.g. P Lond 121.422 (iii/A.D.) (= I. p. 98) θεοὶ κραταιοί, ib. .563 (= p. 102) ἐν φωτὶ κραταιῷ καὶ ἀφθάρτῳ, ib. .789 (= p. 109) ἐπεύχομαι τῇ δεσποίνῃ τοῦ παντὸς κόσμου, ἐπάκουσόν μου ἡ μόνη (= ι)μος ἡ κρατει (= αι)ά.
