Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἄτομος [page 90] With ἐν ἀτόμῳ ( 1Co_15:52 ) cf. Symm. Isa_54:8 ἐν ἀτόμῳ ὀργῆς , where the LXX has ἐν μικρῷ θυμῷ . This will suffice to make Paul s dependence for the word on Plato and Aristotle less assured than it might have been.

Liddell-Scott — Intermediate Greek Lexicon

ἄτομος [Etym: τέμνω] "uncut, unmown", Soph. "that cannot be cut, indivisible", Plat. ; ἐν ἀτόμωι in a "moment", NTest.
