Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀκμάζω [page 18] In his famous speech at Corinth, announcing freedom to the Greeks, Nero expresses regret that it had not been in his power to offer it ἀκμαζούσης τῆς Ἑλλάδος , so that more might have shared in his bounty ( Syll 376 17 ). The more literal sense appears in P Lond 46 .220 (a magical papyrus, iv/A.D.) ( = I. p. 72) ὅσα ἀκμάζει τῶν ὀπωρῶν . According to Moeris ( ἡβᾶν Ἀττ ., ἀκμάζειν Ἕλλ . ). Nero s composition-master must have allowed a vernacular word to sully the purity of the oration.
