Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μεθύσκω. It seems impossible to draw any clear distinction between μεθύσκω and μεθύω: in I Thess 57, e.g., they are virtually synonymous. But the idea of s¢a/ws (as distinguished from actus), which belongs more naturally to the latter, comes out well in the recipe of the magical papyrus P Lond 12118 usitata |
