Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀκατάκριτος. This word has hitherto been found only in Ac 16%7, 2235, and though ‘‘uncondemned” (AV, RV) is its natural meaning, this does not suit the context. Accordingly Blass thinks that it may there = Attic ἄκριτος, which can be used of a cause not yet tried. See also Ramsay St Paul, p- 225, where it is pointed out that Paul in claiming his rights would probably use the Roman phrase ve zzcognztta, “‘without investigating our case,” and that this was inadequately rendered by the Lucan ἀκατάκριτος.
