Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀνεκτός. Cagnat LV. 2934 4 (Pergamon, ii/B.C.) πάντα δὲ κίνδυν7ο[ν κ]αὶ κακοπαθίαν ἀνεκτὴν ἡγούμενος. If the reading can be accepted, the word occurs in the dialect inscription Sy// 793 αἱ ἀ(ν)εκτίόϊν ἐστι ta Θεμί[σ]τι καὶ βέλτιον ἐ(σ)κιχρέμεν. Its appearance in the Christian letter P Oxy VI. 939% (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 130) ἀνεκτότερον ἐσχηκέναι, ‘to be in a more tolerable state,” counts naturally for little, as NT echoes abound.
