Greek-English Concordance for τελείωσις

Luke 1:45 Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment (teleiōsis | τελείωσις | nom sg fem) of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”
Hebrews 7:11 If, then, perfection (teleiōsis | τελείωσις | nom sg fem) had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need would there have been for another kind of priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one designated after the order of Aaron?
