Thayer's Expanded Definition

μέθυσος, μεθύσῃ, μέθυσον, in later Greek also of two terminations (μέθυ, see μέθη), drunken, intoxicated: 1 Corinthians 5:11; 1 Corinthians 6:10. (Phryn.: μέθυσος ἀνήρ, οὐκ ἐρεῖς, ἀλλά μεθυστικός. γυναῖκα δέ ἐρεῖς μέθυσον καί μεθυσην (Aristophanes); but Menander, Plutarch, Lucian, Sextus Empiricus, others (the Sept., Proverbs 23:21, etc.; Sir. 19:1, etc.) use it also of men; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 151.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Deissmann (LAE, p. 321) gives a striking series of parallels to the vices enumerated in 1 Corinthians 6:9 f. from counters used in an ancient game : thus to μέθυσοι correspond on the counters ebriose and vinose. For μέθυσος applied to men, as in 1 Cor l.c., 5.11 (cf. Lob.Phryn. p. 151), see the exx. in Durham Menander, p. 77 f., and add P Oxy XV. 1828.3 (c. iii/A.D.), where πλεονέκτης also occurs (as in 1 Cor ll. c.).
