Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
μέθυσος [page 394]
Deissmann ( LAE , p. 321) gives a striking series of parallels to the vices enumerated in 1Co_6:9 f. from counters used in an ancient game : thus to μέθυσοι correspond on the counters ebriose and vinose. For μέθυσος applied to men, as in 1 Cor l.c. , 5 .11 (cf. Lob. Phryn. p. 151), see the exx. in Durham Menander , p. 77 f., and add P Oxy XV. 1828 .3 ( c. iii/A.D.), where πλεονέκτης also occurs (as in 1 Cor ll. c. ).
