Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

φρεναπάτης, “deceiver.” In the NT only in Tit 119: cf. a woman’s description of her former lover in P Grenf I. 17° (ii/B.c.) © φρεναπάτης ὁ πρὸ τοῦ μέγα φρονῶν, where the context seems to require the meaning “‘ deceiver,” rather than “‘ one who deceives ἀξ own mind,” ‘‘ conceited,’ as Blass Gr. p. 68, n.: cf. Burton ad JCC Gal 6%. See also P Lond V. 16777" (A.D. 566-567).
