I found χαλινὸς used twice.
1. Aeschylus. *Prometheus Bound* [ Aesch. PV card
640<http://artflx.uchicago.edu/perseus-cgi/citequery3.pl?dbname=GreekTexts&getid=0&query=Aesch.%20PV%20640>
line
670<http://artflx.uchicago.edu/perseus-cgi/citequery3.pl?dbname=GreekTexts&getid=0&query=Aesch.%20PV%20670>]
Διὸς *χαλινὸς* πρὸς βίαν πράσσειν τάδε.
2. Plato. *Republic* [ Pl. Resp. book
6<http://artflx.uchicago.edu/perseus-cgi/citequery3.pl?dbname=GreekTexts&getid=0&query=Pl.%20Resp.%206>
section
496b<http://artflx.uchicago.edu/perseus-cgi/citequery3.pl?dbname=GreekTexts&getid=0&query=Pl.%20Resp.%20496b>]
Θεάγους *χαλινὸς* οἷος κατασχεῖν·
The verb is a very practical verb,,χαλινὸν ἄγω, particular in a society that
uses horses. The fact that is not in the written literature that we have
today, does not mean that was not used. In the two parts that is used in
James is used metaphorically and not in κυριολεξία (Kyriolejia) in the exact
usage of the word.
