ἐξολοθρεύω. In Ac 323, from LXX Deut 1815. 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. 87f. As showing the strength of the verb we may cite Pe/agia-Legenden, pp. 23! εἰσαγαγεῖν σε ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου οὐ τολμῶ, μή πως ἀκούσῃ ὁ ὁρμαστός σου καὶ παγγενῆ με ἐξολοθρεύσῃ, 2415 ἄγγελον ἐξαποστελεῖ καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσει πᾶσαν τὴν στρατιάν.
