But I see from 2 Macc. 13:21 that the word MUSTHRION was used for
"battle plans".  Are there other attestations to this sense of the word
in the Biblical corpus?  Or the para biblical corpus?  It seems to me
that it has this sense in some of the apocalyptic writings.

And does anyone know of places in non biblical Hellenistic literature
where it is used with this meaning? Anything in the papyri?

Yours,

Jeffrey
