I think you'll find that BDAG lists who said what. I.e, it tells you what authors are using words in which ways. If you pay attention to the sources that are cited, you should not be misled by some meaning which may be later than the NT.
Having said that, may I refer all questions regarding lexicography to Ann Nyland who happens to be an expert in this area. Ann, you're on.

Hi George,
I am concerned that since the BDAG utilises literature from post-NT times -
early Christian writers - in deriving it's definitions, it may not
therefore reflect the original meanings of some NT words.
Shouldn't a lexicon of the NT be based only on the NT and literature in use
when it was written in 1st Century Palestine?
Also, can you tell me whether lexicons in general utilise everyday formal
and informal writings, like court records and letters, in deriving their
definitions?
Thank you in anticipation of your help,
Denise Parkes
