Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

συνθρύπτω [page 607] According to Hobart p. 249 θρύπτω is a medical term for the crushing of a calculus, and he thinks that the comp d . may have been similarly employed, and, in pursuance of his theme, points out that it is peculiar to Luke ( Act_21:13 ) among Greek authors. But LS .8 cite at least one other passage, Theod. Prodr. 4. 325 συνεθρύβη . For the simplex θρύπτω see P Oxy III. 471 .80 (ii/A.D.) εὔμορφον καὶ πλούσιον μειράκιον ἐθρύπτετο , where the editors render, this handsome and rich youth gave himself airs.
