Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀκατάπαστος [page 17] For the genitive construction after this neuter adjective in 2Pe_2:14 ἀκαταπάστονς ἁμαρτίας , cf. such examples from the papyri as P Tebt I. 124 26 ( c. B.C. 118) ἀσυκοφαντή (τους ) καὶ ἀδιστάστους ὄντος πάσης αἰ [τ ]ίας , BGU III. 970 7 f. (A.D. 177) τῆς εἰς ἅπαντας εὐεργεσίας . . . ἀβοήθητος : see Proleg. p. 235. In view of the common vulgar change of αυ to ᾱ (as in Ἄγουστος , ἀτός , etc. see Proleg. p. 47) it is not improbable that ἀκατάπαυστος may be the word intended, so that the mass of the MSS. have glossed correctly. Prof. Thumb suggests that the influence of ἐπάην may have affected the form. For this word cf. PSI 28 52 (iii/iv A.D. magic) ἔρωτι ἀκαταπαύστῳ .
