"hATINA ESTIN LOGON MEN ECONTA SOFIAS EN EQELOQRHSKIAi KAI TAPEINOFROSUNHi [KAI] AFEIDIAi SWMATOS, OUK EN TIMHi TINI PROS PLHSMONHN THS SARKOS" ('Colossians' 2:23).

I have two questions about EQELOQRHSKIAi, the first minor, the second more important:

1) Should it not be EQELOQRHSKEIAi, or are both forms correct?

2) As this appears to be a 'hapax legomenon' in the Greek New Testament, are there any extra-New Testament examples that throw light on the meaning and usage of this word?

Thankyou,
