I found examples in several of the Greek historians, but mostly Thucydides, that use that word to mean "cowardly, a man who ran from the battle". That would support Quis' exerpts from the Fathers which interpret that word to mean someone overfond of luxuries and ease.
Thank you! And, as I pointed out, it is used to mean the same thing - luxurious, unmanly, etc. - everywhere else it is used in the NT.
