Thayer's Greek Lexicon
βουνός, -ov, 6, a Cyrenaic word acc. to Hdt. 4, 199, which Eustath. [831, 33] on Il. 11, 710 says was used by Philemon [Νοθ. 1], a comic poet (of the 3d cent. B. c.). It was rejected by the Atticists, but from Polyb. on [who (5, 22, 1 sq.) uses it interchangeably with λόφος] it was occasionally received by the later Grk. writ. (Strabo, Pausan., Plut., al.) ; in Sept. very often for 32; (perh. fr. BAQ to ascend [ef. Hesych. βουνοί: βωμοί, and βωμίδες in Hdt. 2, 125 (Schmidt ch. 99, 11)]); α hill, eminence, mound: Lk. iii. 5 (Is. xl. 4); xxiii. 30 (Hos. x. 8). Cf. Sturz, De dial. Maced. ete. p. 153 sq.; Lob. ad Phryn. Ρ. 355 sq.; [Donaldson, New Crat. § 469].

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
βουνός P Tebt II. 4ο815 (a.m. 3) καὶ σὺ δὲ περὶ ὧν βούλε[ι] γράφε, P Giss I. 4718 (Hadrian) εἰ δὲ βούλει αὐτὸ ἀγορασθῆναι (δραχμῶν) p. Reference may be made for the use in classical times to Sy/2 569° φηνάτ]ω 6 θέλων, on which Dittenberger remarks that 6 θέλων replaces the Attic ὃ βουλόμενος in Paros (as here), Thasos, Phocis and other districts. But of course the fact that ‘‘he who is willing” and “‘he who is minded” may be used interchangeably in a particular formula, does not prove that the two verbs are synonyms. A literary citation may be added from the collection of maxims in PSI 11. 120%8 (?iv/A.p.) μικρὰ βούλου δοῦναι ἢ τὰ ἄλλων ἐγγυήσασθαι. In P Par 4819 (8.6. 153) ἥκαμεν eis τὸ Σαραπιεῖον βολάμενοι συνμῖξαί cot, the form βολάμενοι is treated as an aorist by Witkowski (*, p. 92), who compares P Amh Il. 93 (A.D. 181) βόλομαι μισθώσασθαι παρὰ σοῦ κτλ.. and in Addenda, p. 141, P Par 6344(8.c. 165) κατὰ τῶν δυναμένων μέν, μὴ βολαμένων δέ: see also Mayser G7. p. 369. The instance from P Amh II. 93 is a serious impediment to Witkowski’s view. But Ionic had the form in Bod. in v/iv B.c. See the inser. from the shrine of Amphiaraus at Oropus, 0227 5339% (= Syl 589) θύειν δὲ ἐξεῖν (ic. ἐξεῖναι) ἅπαν ὅτι ἂν βόληται ἕκαστος : for proof see C. 10. Buck Greek Dialects, p. 173, where an Eretrian inser. is quoted for BoAdpevov. ‘Thumb, Déa/. p- 273, explains it as a different present stem: the fact that it existed both in Ionic and in Arcadian-Cyprian (¢. p. 304) might account for its leaving traces in the Kow#, and forming a new aorist.
