Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Vettius Valens dispels Grimm-Thayer’s aspersions once more : see p. 240.15, the cultured man ῥᾳδίως ἁλίσκεται ὡς ἄπειρος τῶν παθῶν ὑπ᾽ ἀφελότητος καὶ ἀδιοικησίας προδεδομένος , ";betrayed by simplicity and lack of practical capacity."; So p. 153.80, if Kroll’s conjecture is sound, ου φθόνῳ φερόμενοι οὐδὲ ἀφελότητι . So here is one writer neither ";biblical"; nor ";ecclesiastical"; who agrees with Luke in preferring this abstract to ἀφέλεια , which however he uses once, p. 42.34 εἰς ἀ . τὸν τρόπον ἐμφαίνοντες . The astrologer may further be quoted for the adverb ἀφελῶς , p. 168.23 πολλὰ δὲ ἀ . πιστεύσας ἀπώλεσεν , again confirming the colour of unworldly simplicity which appears in Acts 2:46. The same adverb may be quoted from an inscr., IosPE i. 22.24, ἑαυτὸν ἀ . τῇ πατρίδι εἰς ἅπαντα ἐπεδίδον , as well as in Hellenistic literature. Thus Preuschen (HZNT ad Acts 2:46) cites Athenaeus, Deipnos. X. 419d (II. 412.16 Kaibel) ἑστιαθεὶς ἀφελῶς καὶ μουσικῶς , where ";simple"; meals are contrasted with τὰ πολυτελῆ δεῖπνα . Add Kaibel 727.14 (Christian?) εἰκοστὸν δὲ βιώσασαν ἀφελῶς ἐνιαυτόν : the same epitaph speaks of a ψυχὴν ἀφελῆ .
