According to my copy of Moulton and Milligan, mention in made on page XV of 
the introduction to Deissmann  having been able to "reduce the number of 
words peculiar to the New Testament to something like fifty, or about one per 
cent. of the whole vocabulary." (footnote at this point = See Light from the 
Ancient East, 2d ed., p. 78.)

So while no list is given, at least the scope and source of such a list is 
indicated.
