Using  NTANAPLHR as my search term, the only other instances of the verb that I
could find in the corpus of extant Greek literature written between 8 BCE and the
second century CE are:

Demosthenes Or14 17
Epicurus Phil.010 48.
Apollonius Dyscolus Gramm.De constructione 2.2.21; 2.2.158.; 2.2.365. 2.2.487
Claudius Ptolemaeus Math. Syntaxis mathematica 1,1.527
Claudius Ptolemaeus Math.Harmonica 1.11.50
Cassius Dio Hist. Historiae Romanae 44.48.3.1
Clemens Alexandrinus Theol Stromata 7.12.77.4.

Yours,
