II Adv. ἀνθρωπίνως, ἁμαρτάνειν commit human, i.e. venial, errors, Th. 3.40; ἀνθρωπινώτερον more within the range of human faculty, Pl. Cra. 392b, D. 18.252; ἀνθρωπίνως ἐκλογίζεσθαι, i.e. with fellow-feeling, And. 2.6; humanely, gently, D. 23.70; ἀ. χρὴ τὰς τύχας φέρειν with moderation, Men. 816; εὐτυχίαν D.S. 1.60. — Of the three forms, ἀνθρώπειος is used exclusively in Trag. and generally in Th.

ἀνθρώπινος, ἀνθρωπίνῃ, ἀνθρώπινον (ἄνθρωπος), (from Herodotus down), human; applied to things belonging to men: χεῖρες, Acts 17:25 L T Tr WH; φύσις, James 3:7; or instituted by men: κτίσις, (which see 3), 1 Peter 2:13; adjusted to the strength of man: πειρασμός (R. V. a temptation such as than can bear), 1 Corinthians 10:13 (cf. Neander (and Heinrici) at the passage; Pollux 3, 27, 131 ὁ οὐκ ἄν τίς ὑπομενειεν, ὁ οὐκ ἄν τίς ἐνέγκῃ ... τό δέ ἐναντίον, κοῦφον, ἐυφορον, ὀιστον, ἀνθρώπινον, ἀνεκτον). Opposite to divine things, with the implied idea of defect or weakness: 1 Corinthians 2:4 Rec.; 13 (σοφία, originating with man); 1 Corinthians 4:3 (ἀνθρωπίνῃ ἡμέρα the judicial day of men, i. e. human judgment). ἀνθρώπινον λέγω, Romans 6:19 (I say what is human, speak as is usual among men, who do not always suitably weigh the force of their words; by this expression the apostle apologizes for the use of the phrase δουλωθῆναι τῇ δικαιοσύνη).

This significant adj. is found in Wilcken Ostr. ii. no. 1218 (Rom.) μέλη ἰαικὰ (l. ἰατρ.) ἀνθρώπι (να), with reference apparently to certain healing charms. In wills of the Ptolemaic period ἀνθρώπινόν τι πάσχειν is the stereotyped form for ";to die,"; e.g. P Petr I. 11.9 ff. (the will of a cavalry officer) ἐὰν δέ τι ἀνθρώπινον πάθω καταλείπω τ [ά μοι ὑπάρχοντα ἐγ ] τοῦ βασιλικοῦ καὶ τὸν ἵππον καὶ τὰ ὅπλα κτλ. : cf. also the important marriage contract P Gen I. 21.15 (ii/B.C.) ἐὰν δέ τις αὐτῶν ἀνθρώπινόν τι πάθῃ καὶ τελευτήσῃ κτλ., and BGU IV. 1149.34 (a loan—B.C. 13) ἐὰν δὲ συνβῇ τὸν δοῦλον διαδρᾶναι η ̣̃καὶ παθεῖν τι ἀνθρώπινον, καὶ οὕτως εἶναι τὰ ὀφιλόμενα ἀκίνδυνα κτλ. So P Tebt II. 333.11 (A.D. 216), Syll 633.13 (Rom.—note the unusual present πάσχῃ), etc. Various uses of the adj. are illustrated in Syll : thus 347.8 (B.C. 48), an Asian decree in honour of Julius Caesar, τὸν ἀπὸ Ἄρεως καὶ Ἀφροδε [ί ]της θεὸν ἐπιφανῆ καὶ κοινὸν τοῦ ἀνθρωπίνου βίου σωτῆρα, 365.10 (c. A.D. 37)—a grandiloquent adulatory oration from Cyzicus—θεῶν δὲ χάριτες τούτῳ διαφέρουσιν ἀνθρωπίνων διαδοχῶν, ᾧ ἢ νυκτὸς ἥλιος κτλ., 462.30 (iii/B.C., Crete) καὶ θί [νων (";divine";) κ ]αὶ ἀνθρωπίνων πάντων (cf. 722.33), 463.132 (late iii/B.C.) οἱ ἐ [ρ ]ευταὶ οἱ τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων, ";the comptrollers of secular revenues";. The strong pervading antithesis with ";divine"; in the uses of this word lends emphasis to such a phrase as ἀ. κτίσις in 1 Peter 2:13 (where see Hort). It is MGr.
