Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

πατραλῴας / πατρολῴας [pages 498, 499] πατρολῴας , a parricide, is confined in the NT to 1Ti_1:9 , where TR reads πατραλῴας . With the list of vices in which it occurs Deissmann ( LAE , p. 321 f.) compares the scolding of Ballio the pander in Plaut. Pseud. I. iii. 134, where it is said to the parricida verberasti patrem atque matrem , with the scornful answer atque occidi quoque potius quam cibum praehiberem. The classical πατραλοίας seems to make father-thrasher (ἀλο (ι )άω ) the original meaning.
