G733 appears outside of the Bible in multiple places.

A proper discussion of the meaning of this word should include quotes of these extra-biblical passages (along with a discussion of what these authors were talking about), since the word is rare in the NT. My Greek is only beginner-level, but I'll do my best to follow along.

Note that the discussion must be restricted to linguistics only. CF rules do not permit a discussion of the morality of homosexual relationships.

I have no access to these extra-biblical documents. I relied on the expertise of BDAG. After analyzing the biblical and extra-biblical documents, BDAG concluded that G733 means

a male who engages in sexual activity w. a pers. of his own sex.
