One of the problems we always have is incomplete data. Just to whet your
appetite a little, the next TLG CD will contain just about twice as much
data as the current D CD-ROM. In that, there is a 3rd BC usage from Manetho
Hist Aegyptius. The immediate context (sorry for the sgreek
transliteration) is:
Kai\ tau=ta me\n o( Pano/dwroj ta\j kata\ qeou= kai\
tw=n qeopneu/stwn grafw=n Ai)guptiaka\j suggrafa\j
sumfwnei=n au)tai=j a)gwni/zetai deiknu/nai, memfo/menoj
to\n Eu)se/bion
In all, there are 1100+ references to QEOPNEU* in the TLG E disk. Most, but
not all, references to 2 Tim.
Cheers!
