Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἥττημα [page 282]
The use of the verb in the passage from Chrest. I. 16 cited s.v. ἡττάομαι may help to strengthen Field s contention ( Notes , pp. 160 f., 171 f.) that both in Rom_11:12 and in 1Co_6:7 , the thought of defeat is present without any special ethical tinge. The subst. is found elsewhere in Bibl. Greek only in Isa_31:8 .
