ἁμαρτάνω

to miss the mark (Hom., Æsch., al.), hence metaph. (Hom., al.), to err, do wrong.

ἁμαρτάνω. It will be convenient to give (non-Christian) citations for this important word fully. In a private letter of the time of Augustus the writer complains—éy@ μὲν οὐ δοκῶι ἄξιος εἶναι ὑβρίζεσθαι .. . οὐδὲ γὰρ ἡμάρτηκά τι εἰς σέ (cf. Ac 25%, etc.), BGU IV. 11414: cf. 1. δ ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ μου ἐπιστολῇ οὐθὲν ἁμάρτημα ever (1. ἔνι -- ἔνεστι).. BGU III. 846 (i/a.p.) (= Selections, p. 93, Documents, p. 259) is an illiterate appeal from Antonius Longus to his mother entreating her to be reconciled to him. He makes his daily prayer to Serapis for her, etc.—Aouroy οἶδα τί αἰμαυτῷ παρέσχημαι, παιπαίδδευμαι καθ᾽ ὃν δὴ (corrected from δὶ) τρόπον, οἶδα, ὅτι ἡμάρτηκα (1. ro ff.), ““ But I know I have been punished with what I have brought upon myself, in a way that I know, for I have sinned”: cf. Lk 1518 #1 In the interesting rescript of an Emperor to the Jews, P Par 685°f-, we read, καὶ yap τοὺς εἰς ἡμᾶς] ἁμαρτάνοντας δεζόντως κολάζεσθαι) εἰκός. In P Oxy I. 34% 4 (a.p. 127) a Roman prefect uses some strong language about infringement of his instructions regarding certain archives : ἄδειαν ἑαυτοῖς ὧν ἁμαρτάνουσι ἔσεσθ[α]. γομίζοντες, ‘imagining that they will not be punished for | their illegal acts’’ (Edd.).
