Ἀσύμφωνος occurs in Wisd. 18:10 and in classical writers.

The attitude of the true Catholics, in protesting against the corruptions and perversions of the Church of Rome, and showing that they are the faithful followers of Scripture and of apostolic tradition, and the true up holders of the primitive discipline and doctrine of the Church, is very similar. <a href="/commentaries/acts/28-25.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>They disagreed ἀσύμφωνοι (asymphōnoi) Adjective - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_800.htm">Strong's 800: </a> Dissonant, discordant; met: at variance.
