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
