In the lack of other citations this NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (Judges 1:24) may be illustrated from M. Aur. v. 9 τὸ ἄπταιστον καὶ εὔρουν ἐν πᾶσι, ";the security and happy course of all things,"; which depend on the faculty of understanding and knowledge. See also 3 Maccabees 6:39 ὁ τῶν πάντων δυνάστης ἀπταίστους αὐτοὺς ἐρρύσατο ὁμοθυμαδόν.
