Oh, good point.  Thanks for that.  :)

I would think, one should / would use a classical lexicon (LSJ) when using classical texts, a biblical lexicon (Thayer
or BAGD/BDAG) when using biblical texts, and a patristic lexicon (Lampe) when using a patristic text.

Argh...  more shopping to do...

Of course, when one runs into a hapax in a biblical text, a classical lexicon may very well be the best place to turn.

True.  :)

Jonathan.
