[B-Greek] NIKWN in Rev

Dear List-members,

I'd like to know if the participle NIKWN used e.g. in the letters to the seven churches in Rev is a typical word to call a winner? Robertson points to a present tense which means that is a continuous victory. Is he right? In a dictionary I've found a word NIKHTWR - a winner, but I can't find it used in either LXX or GNT. Was it used often outside the Bible?

Thanks for help.
