The somewhat rare ἐκκοπή is found in its literal sense of ";cutting"; or ";cutting down"; in BGU IV. 1121.27 (B.C. 5) ξυλείας ] ἐκκοπήν, P Lond 214.24 (A.D. 270–5) (= II. p. 162), where with reference to the cutting down of two acacia trees an official is sent to inspect τῆς ἐκ [κοπ ]ῆς τὴν διάθεσιν, and P Gen I. 62.7 (mid. iv/A.D.) τεχνίτας πρὸς τὴν ἐκκοπὴν τῶν ξύλων, cf..11.
The derived meaning of ";hindrance"; in the only occurrence of ἐνκοπή in the NT (1 Corinthians 9:12) may be illustrated from Vett. Valens p. 2.7 ἐγκοπὰς τῶν πρασσομένων : the adj. ἐγκοπτικός also occurs ter, e.g. p. 182.12 κωλυτικοὶ καὶ ἐγκοπτικοὶ δόξης καὶ ὠφελείας.
