Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
πλουτίζω is included by Anz (Suds¢dia, p. 297) in the class of verbs which, going back to the beginnings of Greek letters, disappear for a time from general use, only to come to light again inlater Greek. This particular word is fairly common in the LXX and occurs 267, in the NT.
