That is what I meant. I think it evolved from Biblical Greek. Plato, Aristotle, Euripides, Sophocles, and Thucydides used Attic Greek.

The point is the timeline. Biblical Greek (a.k.a. Koine) evolved from Attic Greek (which was used in classic Greek antiquity, e.g. by philosophers and poets centuries before Christ)

Ignoring attic evolving from Biblical greek, Logos has 2 lexicons from the Attic period ... one specifically 'Attic' (decent discussions) and the other Homer's vocabulary (limited discussions). But the best for your purposes is the greek etymological dictionary that MJ mentions.

You mean Koine evolved primarily from Attic i.e. Eastern Greek dialects. Note that Attic is sometimes treated as a subtype of Ionic, sometimes as a sister language. For the earliest Greek read Pre-Greek substrate - Wikiwand For a map of the geographic range of Attic Greek see Attic Greek - Wikiwand For the development of Koine Greek and its relationship to Alexander the Great see Koine Greek - Wikiwand
Note Sappho and Alcaeus wrote in Aeolic, Pindar wrote in Doric, and a number of other dialects are attested.
