Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἐξορύσσω: 1 aorist participle ἐξορύξαντες; from Herodotus down;

1. to dig out: τούς ὀφθαλμούς (properly, to pluck out the eyes; so Judges 16:21 (Alex.); 1 Samuel 11:2; Herodotus 8, 116; Josephus, Antiquities 6, 5, 1; Lucian, dial. deor. 1, 1; others) καί διδόναι τίνι, metaphorically, to renounce the most precious things for another's advantage, Galatians 4:15 (similar expressions see in Terence, adelph. 4, 5, 67; Horace sat. 2, 5, 35; (Wetstein at the passage)); in opposition to a very few interpretaters who, assuming that Paul suffered from a weakness of the eyes, understand the words literally, Ye would have plucked out your sound eyes and have put them into me, see Meyer at the passage; (cf. references under the word σκόλοψ, at the end).

2. to dig through: τήν στέγην, Mark 2:4.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In BGU IV. 1024iv. 4 (iv/v A.D.) the editor supplies ἐξορώ ]ρυχαις γ ̣ὰ ̣ρ ̣ [ὃν ἔθ ]αψε δημοσίᾳ [νεκρὸ ]ν ἡ πόλις (καὶ) ἐ ̣λ ̣ε ̣ησεν, understanding by the first word ἐξορώρυχας instead of ἐξορωρυχώς which would have suited the construction better. See also Syll 891.6 (ii/A.D.) ἀλλὰ ἀτειμάσει ἢ μεταθήσει ὅρους ἐξορ (ύσσ)ων, amended by Dittenberger from ἐξορῶν on the stone.
