Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐξολοθρεύω [page 224] In Act_3:23 , from LXX Deu_18:19 , WH read ἐξολεθρευθήσεται in accordance with the preponderant evidence of the LXX uncials. The other spelling has survived in MGr ξολοθρεύω : see Thackeray Gr. i. p. 87 f. As showing the strength of the verb we may cite Pelagia-Legenden , pp. 23 .15 εἰσαγαγεῖν σε ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου οὐ τολμῶ , μή πως ἀκούσῃ ὁ ὁρμαστός σου καὶ παγγενῆ με ἐξολοθρεύσῃ , 24 .18 ἄγγελον ἐξαποστελεῖ καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσει πᾶσαν τὴν στρατιάν .
