Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";melt,"; pass, ";melt away,"; as in 2 Peter 3:12 where, according to Hort (Notes.2, p. 103) τήκεται (אABKL) may be a corruption for the rare τήξεται : cf. Hippocrates vi. p. 110, ed. Littré. In C. and b. i. p. 150 No. 45 ἐτήκω κολαθεσα ἑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ, Ramsay notes that ";ἐτήκω is probably for τήκομαι. . .‘ waste away from fever or other formless disease.’ "; The compd. συντηκέτωσαν occurs in P Rev LL. .17 (B.C. 258) of melting down lard.
