Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

παραδιατριβή [page 482] Παραδιατριβαί has only the support of a few minuscule MSS. in 1Ti_6:5 . The true reading διαπαρατριβαί is understood by Field ( Notes , p. 211) in the sense of mutual irritations : cf. for the sense of reciprocity the simple compd. in Polyb. ii. 36. 5 τὰ μὲν οὖν κατὰ Καρχηδονίους καὶ Ῥωμαίους ἐν ὑποψίαις ἦν πρὸς ἀλλήλους καὶ παρατριβαῖς (cited by Lock ICC ad 1 Tim l.c. ).
