Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κραταιός. That this ‘* poetic ’’ word also formed part of the common stock of the Kow 74 is shown by its occurrence not only in the LXX and NT, but in the magic papyri, e.g. P Lond 1214 (ili/A.D.) (=I. p. 98) θεοὶ κραταιοί, 75. 583. (= p. 102) ἐν φωτὶ κραταιῷ καὶ ἀφθάρτῳ, 75. 189 (= p. 109) ἐπεύχομαι τῇ δεσποίνῃ τοῦ παντὸς κόσμου, ἐπάκουσόν μου ἡ μόνηί-- ι)μος ἡ κρατει(-- αι)ά.
