Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀνεξίκακος. P Tebt II. 2729 (a medical fragment, late ii/A.D.), gives a literary citation for the word, εἰ γὰρ avet[(]kakos ἐν τοῖς [λ]οιποῖς Sy μὴ ὑπομένοι τὸ δίψ[ος], ‘for if he has general endurance but is nevertheless unable to bear the thirst” (Edd.). Vettius Valens has it, p. 382), οὐκ ἄποροι καθίστανται, ἐπιτάραχοι δὲ Kal ἀνεξίκακοι, ἐγκρατεῖς περὶ τὰς τῶν αἰτίων ἐπιφοράς. Though Lucian (zud. voc. 9) is posterior in date to Paul and to Wisd 218 (ἀνεξικακία), he is adequate evidence for the earlier use of the word in “profane ” Greek !
