There are not that many examples of the use of this verb with either the acc or with the dat in the NT. Most of the time it is used absolutely (1), i.e. simply "to lie" without any indication of that regarding which one lies or to whom one lies. There are also instances of its use with a preposition (2) which might usurp the place of a dative of the person (3) to whom one lies or the accusative of that regarding which one lies (4).

In
my
opinion,
the
two
different
ways
of
employing
this
verb,
with
the
Accusative
and
the
Dative
respectively,
might
be
explained
probably
by
the
fact
that
an
action,
from
its
initiation
to
the
final
effect,
may
be
depicted
in
one
of
its
various
stages
of
partial
realisation
in
which
the
element
involved
in
its
fulfilment
could
be
the
direct
agent
or
the
other
indirect
agents.
Here
are
some
examples.
2Thess
1:10
ἐπιστεύθη
τὸ
μαρτύριον...
EPISTEUQH
TO
MARTURION...
the
testimony
was
believed...
The
object
of
the
verb
is
here
in
the
Accusative.
Mt
21:25
Διὰ
τί
οὖν
οὐκ
ἐπιστεύσατε
αὐτῷ;
DIA
TI
OUN
OUK
EPISTEUSATE
AUTWi?
Why
did
you
not
believe
him?
The
object
of
the
same
verb
is
here
in
the
Dative.
In
the
first
example
it
is
the
direct
agent
which
is
emphasised
-
the
testimony
itself
-
which
produces
the
final
effect
upon
its
beneficiary;
therefore
it
is
in
the
Accusative.
In
the
second
example
the
emphasis
falls
on
the
confessor
and
is
therefore
in
the
Dative,
as
he
is
not
the
most
immediate
agent
on
which
the
faith
is
firstly
directed:
he
is
believed
because
the
testimony
or
the
words
he
uttered
were
previously
believed.
(See
also
the
verb
ἀκουω
AKOUW:
it
may
be
followed
by
the
Accusative
or
the
Genitive,
depending
on
the
agent
involved
in
the
listening/hearing;
either
the
person
who
is
speaking,
or
his
voice,
or
the
words
of
his
voice,
or
some
sound).
I
believe
this
principle
may
also
apply
to
the
case
of
YEUDOMAI
+
Acc/Dat:
Ananias
lied
to
the
Holy
Spirit
(directly,
therefore
the
Accusative)
and
in
so
doing
he
lied,
not
to
men,
but
to
God
(as
a
consequence,
therefore
the
Dative).

Acts

PSEUDOMAI/YEUDOMAI
+
Acc.
Acts
5:3
is
consistently
translated:
"Peter
said,
Ananias,
why
has
satan
filled
your
heart
(for)
you
to
lie
*to*
the
holy
spirit?"
But
"the
holy
spirit"
is
accusative:
ψεύσασθαί
σε

τὸ
ἅγιον
YEUSASQAI
SE
TO
PNEUMA
TO
hAGION
While
the
very
next
verse
shows
lying
*to*
somebody
in
the
dative
(Acts
5:4:
"You
did
not
lie
to
men
but
to
God"):
Οὐκ

Can
TO
PNEUMA

be
understood
instead
to
be
what
Ananias
lied
about,
rather
than
to
whom
Ananias
lied:
"Why
has
satan
filled
your
heart
(for)
you
to
lie
*about*
[or
to
mispresent]
the
holy
spirit?"
(as
being
the
one
motivating
his
actions)?
Given
5:4,
why
is
"to
the
holy
spirit"
even
valid?
