A reference B. B. Warfield gave was:
http://www.aomin.org/THEOPNEU.html
"Phocylid. 121 'tes de theopneustou sophies logos estin aristos'."
The Columbia Encyclopedia has:
"Phocylides: (fsl´dz) (KEY) , fl. 6th cent. B.C., Greek poet, b.
Miletus. His gnomic (aphoristic) verses exist in fragments."
B. B. Warfield also seems to mention a reference in Plutarch, but he was
a considerably younger contemporary of Paul:
"Plut. de Placit. Philosoph. 5. 2, 'tous oneirous tous theopneustous'."
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
