Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
δολόω. Like δόλος, the verb is found in P Leid ΝΥ. 57 and “i? (iii/iv A Ρ.)-- κασσίτερον γνῶναι εἰ δεδόλωται ~ χωνεύσας αὐτὸν κτλ., and δολοῦται χρυσὸς εἰς αὔξησιν μισύει καὶ γῇ Σινοπίδι κτλ. See also Sy// 802! (ii'/B.c.) δολωθεὶς ὑπὸ ματρυιᾶς, and Vettius Valens p. 248? ὁπόταν δὲ κακωθῇ, δολουμένη ἀδιανόητος γίνεται. Our first instance reinforces Grimm’s quotation from Lucian and Thayer's from ioscurides to make clear the metaphor of 2 Cor 45.
