TDNT has an article on this word which reference the LXX material and some
non-biblical Greek usage. For more references to earlier Greek usage see LSJ
which references Homer, Thucydides, Herodotos etc.

Subject: [B-Greek] The Greek verb FTANW used in the context of a race (race
imagery)
Hello,
I'm writing a brief paper on the use of race imagery in the Pauline
epistles. I was wondering if anyone knew of a lucid example (extra-biblical)
of the use of the verb φθάνω (FQANW) in the context of a runner
*reaching* a prize, with "reaching" being a translation of the verb
FQANW.
Thank you,
Mike
