In the sense of “against” which survives only in dialectal English (compare Wright, Dialect Dict., I, 470, for examples) is the King James Version rendering of the dative ἐμαυτῷ, emautō̇ of (the American Standard Revised Version renders this “against”). In classical Greek the same idiom sunoı́da with dative = “be conscious” or “be cognizant of” a thing.
