Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the absolute use = ";guilty,"; cf. BGU II. 651.10 (A.D. 192) and P. Flor I. 9.16 f. (A.D. 255) πρὸς τοὺς φανησομένους αἰτίους : so P Tebt II. 330.10 f. (II/A.D.) πρὸς τὸ φανέντος τινὸς αἰτ [ίο ]υ μένιν μοι τὸν λόγ [ο ]ν, ";if any one is proved to be the culprit, he may be held accountable to me"; (Edd.), ib. 333.15 (A.D. 216), etc. A more neutral sense, ";responsible,"; occurs three times in the Revenue Papyrus (B.C. 259–8), where sundry officials ";shall, each of them who is responsible (ἕκαστος τῶν αἰτίων), pay a fine to the Treasury,"; if on inspection it appears that the proper acreage has not been sown. It is used wholly in bonam partem in Hebrews 5:9, with which cf. Diodorus Siculus iv. 82 αἴτιος ἐγένετο τῆς σωτηρίας. For the dependent genitive cf. also Syll 737.80 (ii/A.D.) ὁ αἴτιος γενόμενος τῆς μάχης. The Lukan use of the neuter = ";cause,"; shading into ";crime,"; may be illustrated from P Hib I. 73.18 (B.C. 243–2) ὅπως εἰδῆις εἶναι ] αἴτιον τοῦ μὴ γενέσθαι τῶι Δω [ρίωνι ἀπόδοσιν τὴν ] Πάτρωνος βίαν, ";the reason . . . is the violence of P."; (Edd.).
