Vocabulary of the Greek NT

To the examples of this late word, =";a married woman who commits adultery"; (Romans 7:8), given by Lob. Phryn. p. 452, we may add Test, xii. patr. Levi xiv. 6, where the high priests are charged with having intercourse both with unmarried and with married women—πόρναις καὶ μοι χαλίσιν συναφθήσεσθε

In the figurative use of the word in James 4:4 Schmiedel (Winer-Schmiedel Gr. p. 254) refers μοιχαλίδες both to men and to women (cf. v.l. μοιχοὶ καὶ μοιχαλίδες אc KLP), but the fem. μοιχαλίς ";is alone appropriate in this sense, since God is always thought of as the husband"; (Ropes ICC ad l.). For the form μοιχαλίς for μοιχάς (Vett. Val P. 104.11) Wackernagel (Hellenistica, p. 7) compares δορκαλίς for δορκάς, and μαιναλίς for μαινάς See also Kennedy Sources, p. 116.
