Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

βιβρώσκω [page 111] The perfect of this verb, which in the NT is confined to Joh_6:13 (τοίς βεβρωκόσιν ), occurs in medical receipts P Ryl I. 29 ( a ) .49 (ii/A.D.) βεβ [ρω ]μένους κανθούς . Cf. the verbal adj. in PSI I. 64 .21 (? i/B.C.) μήτε ἐν ποτοῖς μήτε ἐν βρωτοῖς , and in OGIS 629 .159 (A.D. 137) For compounds see P Petr II. 4 (8) .5 (B.C. 255 4) καταβεβρωκέναι , P Grenf II. 36 .15 (B.C. 95) ἠκούσαμεν τὸν μῦν καταβεβρωκέναι τὸν σπόρον , we hear that mice have eaten up the crop (Edd.), and P Par 6 .21 (i/B.C.) περ ]ιβρωθέντα , devoured in part. On its record in classical Greek and LXX see Anz Subsidia , p. 268. Grimm s grave record of an unused present βρώσκω whence pf. βέβρωκα stands among many philological freaks in a fine work.
