Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In 1 Corinthians 11:6 most editors accentuate ξυρᾶσθαι pres. mid. ";to go shaven,"; but in view of the immediately preceding aor. κείρασθαι, it is probably better to read ξύρασθαι, aor. mid. of ξύρω, a form found in Plutarch (see Veitch s.v.) : cf. WH Notes.2, p. 172, Moulton Gr. ii. p. 200f. For ξυρητής (not in LS), ";one who shaves,"; see BGU II. 630v. 10 (c. A.D. 200) : ξύρησις, ";baldness,"; is found in Isaiah 22:12. MGr ξ (ο)υρίζω.
