It can also imply an accusation or charge brought against someone. In the New Testament, it is used to describe formal requests or charges, particularly in judicial or authoritative contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, legal proceedings and formal requests were common in both civic and religious life. The term "aitiama" would have been understood in the context of legal petitions or accusations, reflecting the structured nature of ancient legal systems. The concept of making requests or presenting accusations was integral to maintaining order and justice in society.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>variant reading for <a href="/greek/159b.htm">aitióma</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 157: αἰτίαμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">αἰτίαμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(τος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">αἰτίωμα</span></span>. <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 157: αἰτίωμα</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">αἰτίωμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(τος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">αἰτιάομαι</span>); in <a href="/interlinear/acts/25-7.htm">Acts 25:7</a> the reading of the best manuscripts adopted by <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> for <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">αἰτίαμα</span>: <span class="accented">accusation, charge of guilt</span>.
