Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The connotation of wilful blindness, as in Ephesians 4:18, is found in P Tebt I. 24.33 (B.C. 117), where an official reports the misconduct of certain persons whose plans he had frustrated, so that λήγοντες τῆς ἀγνοίας they left the district. The writer had ἀνοίας first, and then added γ above the line. In the ordinary sense of inadvertence it is common : e.g. BGU IV. 1114.9 (B.C. 8–7) γέγονεν δὲ κατ᾽ ἄγνοιαν ει ̣̓ς ̣ τὸ ὁ κατάπλους † αὐτοῦ Κοίντου Καικιλίου Κάστορος ὄνομα. With a gen. the same phrase occurs in P Oxy VI. 923.9 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐπεὶ κατ᾽ ἄγνοιαν τῶν φροντίδων αὐτῶν ἠργάσατο, ib. I. 78.23 ff. (iii/A.D.) ἵν᾽ οὖν μὴ δόξω συνθέσθαι τῇ τοῦ πραγματικοῦ ἀγνοίᾳ ἐπιδίδωμι τὰ βιβλίδια κτλ. The simple dat. appears with same sense in P Flor II. 132.8 (iii/A.D.) ἔλε [ξ ]αν πεποιηκέναι ταῦτα ἀγνοίᾳ. For κατὰ ἄγνοιαν, as in Acts 3:17, see P Oxy II. 237viii. 36 (A.D. 186) ἵνα οἱ συναλλάσσοντες μὴ κατ᾽ α ̣̀γ ̣ν ̣ο ̣ιαν ἐνεδρεύονται, ";in order that persons entering into agreements may not be defrauded through ignorance"; (Edd.).

†In the print edition the phrase ὁ κατάπλους is on a separate line directly above τὸ.
