<<BAGD cites Hb. 11:24 for 'refuse' as a meaning of ARNEOMAI, and the NRSV
translates this verse as:
" By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of
Pharaoh's daughter"
Is this the sense of 'refuse' you mean, I wonder?
If it is, then you will be interested in the BAGD entry: for section (1)
refuse, disdain (Hes., Works 408; Appian, Syr. 5 ¤19; Artem. 1, 78 p. 72,
26; 5, 9; Diog. L. 2, 115; 6, 36; Jos., Ant. 4, 86; 5, 236, Vi. 222) w.
inf. foll. (Hdt. 6, 13; Wsd 12:27; 17:9)
The Wis. 12:27 citation, ;RSV= whom they had before refused to know.] in
the LXX is: HRNOUNTO EIDENAI
And the Josephus Ant. 4,86 usage looks to be a straightforward use in your
sense:
"But Sihon refused his offer, and put his army into battle array,"
BTW, I see that Lampe notes a usage --- really an extensionof the main
patristic usage of 'deny, disown, repudiate' -- in the absolute, which
means "to apostatize" and adds:
" note in this connexion the sum of the numerals ARNOUME = 666"
I can see _that_ being of great interest to some groups as we approach the
millenium <vbg>
Hope this helps.

Yes, this is what I was looking for. Thanks.
