Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀνεκτός (~ ἀνεκτότερος ) [page 41] Cagnat IV. 293 ii. 4 (Pergamon, ii/B.C.) πάντα δὲ κίνδυν ]ο [νκ ]αὶ κακοπαθίαν ἀνεκτὴν ἡγούμενος . If the reading can be accepted, the word occurs in the dialect inscription Syll 793 αἰ ἀ (ν )εκτ [ό ]ν ἐστι τᾶ Θεμί [σ ]τι καὶ βέλτιον ἐ (σ )κιχρέμεν . Its appearance in the Christian letter P Oxy VI. 939 .25 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 130) ἀνεκτότερον ἐσχηκέναι , to be in a more tolerable state, counts naturally for little, as NT echoes abound.
