Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

πλαστός. A good ex. of the metaphorical use of πλαστός, ““ made up,” ‘‘feigned,” in 2 Pet 23 isafforded by P Oxy II. 237¥i#i 14 (A.D. 186) μὴ παραυτίκα πλαστὰ εἶναι τὰ γράμματα εἰπών, “not having immediately declared that the contract is forged”: cf. Musonius p. 4115 πλαστοὶ Kal οὐκ ἀληθινοὶ φίλοι. The more literal sense is seen in P Oxy IV. 729%° (A.D. 137) τὴν ἐντὸς πλαστῶν χερσάμπείλον, “the vineyard enclosed by a mud wall” (Edd.). For subst. πλάστης cf. P Giss I. 314-17 (end ii/a.D.).
