ἀθῶος [R G Tr], more correctly ἀθῷος (L WH and T [but not in his Sept. There is want of agreement among both the ancient gramm. and modern scholars; cf. Steph. Thes. i. col. 875 c.; Lob. Path. Element. i. 440 sq. (cf. ii. 377); see Ι, ι]), -ον, (θωή [i. e. θωϊή, cf. Etym. Mag. p. 26, 24] punishment), [fr. Plat. down], unpunished, innocent: αἷμα ἀθῷον, Mt. xxvii. 4 [Tr mrg.

Bleek ad loc.; B. 171 (149); [W. 384 (359)]. In Rev. xi. 8 Αἴγ. is figuratively used for Jerusalem i. e. for the Jewish nation viewed as persecuting Christ and his followers, and so to be likened to the Egyptians in their ancient hostility to the true God and their endeavors to crush his people.

[Syn. αἰδώς, αἰσχύνη: Ammonius distinguishes the words as follows, αἰδὼς καὶ αἰσχύνη διαφέρει, ὅτι ἡ μὲν αἰδώς ἐστιν ἐντροπὴ πρὸς ἕκαστον, ὡς σεβομένως τις ἔχει· αἰσχύνη δ’ ἐφ’ οἷς ἕκαστος ἁμαρτὼν αἰσχύνεται, ὡς μὴ δέον τι πράξας. καὶ αἰδεῖται μέν τις τὸν πατέρα· αἰσχύνεται δὲ ὃς μεθύσκεται, etc., etc.; accordingly αἰδ. is prominently objective in its reference, having regard to others; while αἰσχ. is subjective, making reference to one’s self and one’s actions. Cf. Schmidt ch. 140. It is often said that ‘αἰδ. precedes and prevents the shameful act, αἰσχ. reflects upon its consequences in the shame it brings with it’ (Cope, Aristot. rhet. 5, 6, 1). αἰδ. is the nobler word, αἰσχ. the stronger; while “αἰδ. would always restrain a good man from an unworthy act, αἰσχ. would sometimes restrain a bad one.” Trench §§ xix. xx.]*
Αἰθίοψ, -οπος, ὁ, (αἴθω to burn, and ὤψ [ὄψ] the face;
