Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
θόρυβος. | » | πάνυ yap θλείβομαι διότι οὐκ ἐδεξάμην cov γράμματα, 2. | 120 verso? (iv/A.D.) ἀλ᾽ (1. ἀλλ᾽) ὅρα μὴ καταλίψῃς par | (Δ με) θλιβόμενον, and 26. VI. 903°8 (iv/A.p.) where a wife complains of her husband—kal περὶ ᾿Ανίλλας τῆς δούλης αὐτοῦ ἔμεινεν θλίβων τὴν ψυχήν pov, ‘he also persisted in vexing my soul about his slave Anilla” (Edd.). Cf.

Petr. 10 kal τοὺς φονεῖς ἔβλεπον καὶ τοὺς συνειδότας αὐτοῖς βεβλημένους ἕν τινι τόπῳ τεθλιμμένῳ καὶ πεπληρωμένῳ ἑρπετῶν πονηρῶν.
