Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀλοάω [page 23]
With the substantive ἀλοητός which is found as a variant in LXX Lev_26:5 , Amo_9:13 , may be compared P Tebt I. 48 16 f. ( c. B.C. 113) ὄντων πρὸς τῆι παραδόσει τῶν ἐκφορίων καὶ τοῦ ἀλοητοῦ , where however from its dependence on παραδόσει , the editors understand ἀ . to refer to a payment of some kind, probably to various minor taxes at the ἅλως . See also BGU IV. 1031 .11 (ii/A.D.) ὅρα μὴ ἀμελήσῃς τὸν ἀλοητὸν τῆς νησοῦ . (It is better with Crφnert s.v. to write the word with smooth breathing, instead of following the abnormal ἁ . of the Attic cognate ἅλως .)
Liddell-Scott — Intermediate Greek Lexicon
ἀλοάω [Etym: ἀλέω] "to thresh, thresh out", Plat. "to thresh, cudgel, beat", Il. , Ar.
