πλαστός [page 516]
A good ex. of the metaphorical use of πλαστός , made up, feigned, in 2Pe_2:3 is afforded by P Oxy II. 237 viii. 14 (A.D. 186) μὴ παραυτίκα πλαστὰ εἶναι τὰ γράμματα ε̣ἱ̣̓π̣ών , not having immediately declared that the contract is forged : cf. Musonius p. 41 .16 πλαστοὶ καὶ οὐκ ἀληθινοὶ φίλοι . The more literal sense is seen in P Oxy IV. 729 .30 (A.D. 137) τὴν ἐντὸς πλαστῶν χερσάμπε [λον , the vineyard enclosed by a mud wall (Edd.). For subst. πλάστης cf. P Giss I. 31 ii. 17 (end ii/A.D.).
