troÌ„oÌ„s´braÌ„k-ẽr: The King James Version rendering in of ἀÌσπονδος, aspondos, literally, “without a libation.†As a libation always accompanied the making of a treaty in Greek lands, the lack implied that no treaty had been made, or, by a natural extension of meaning, could be made. Hence, the word came to mean “implacable†(Revised Version).
