Even the 2nd edition of _A Greek-English Lexicon ...._ utilized M-M.  At the end of the entry you will frequently note M-M and the entry may be concluded by "*" which indicates that all biblical instances have been cited.  I use the electronic edition of M-M in addition to BDAG (3rd ed of _A Greek-English Lexicon..._) and LSJ.  I also have Lust and Louw-Nida.  I don't find the last two very helpful.  I use Louw-Nida on those rare occassions when I want to know what other words might have been used to convey a similar thought, but that isn't frequent.  M-M fleshes out the BDAG entry by providing citations from the papyri (generally not included in BDAG) which can frequently be enlightening.

Subject: [B-Greek] Moulton Milligan Lexicon


Hello all,

I've been wondering if anyone frequently uses the Moulton-Milligan's "The Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament Illustrated from the Papyri and Other Non-Literary Sources"  James Hope Moulton/George Milligan, (My Copy by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Issued in 1930, reprinted 1976).  I've got a print copy of the book, but I hardly ever consult it.

I own the New BDAG (Logos), the 2nd Edition BDAG (print), Lust (Lexicon of the Septuagint), Louw-Nida Lexicon of Semantic Domains and several other lexicons (not Lampe's Patristic Greek Lexicon). Has the new BDAG incorporated Moulton's-Milligan's data, or should I always check MM?  I don't own an electronic version of MM. Is it worth purchasing?  

Any recommendations or comments would be appreciated.
