Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀκμάζω. 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 “Εἰλλάδος, so that more might have shared in his bounty (Sy// 376"). The more literal sense appears in P Lond 46”° (a magical papyrus, iv/A.D.) (=I. p. 72) ὅσα ἀκμάζει τῶν ὀπωρῶν. According to Moeris (‘‘qBav’Art., dxpatev”EAX.”). Nero’s composition-master must have allowed a vernacular word to sully the purity of the oration.
