William Mounce: Extra-biblical sources in word studies
"When you are limited in the number of occurrences for a word, you have to go to secular literature; just be sure you stay within 100 years or so of the biblical time period. Words can change their meaning quickly."
William Mounce: Quoting Greek words in a sermon
