1 The meanings of terms in 67.152-67.158 could almost be treated equally well in Domain 23 Physiological Processes and States, since these could be regarded as simply derivatives of physiological states. However, the focus of meaning in the respective contexts seems to be more upon a particular period of time rather than upon a physiological state or condition.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

νεότης [page 424] The phrase ἐκ νεότητος , from youth upwards, as in Mar_10:20 al. , is found as early as Homer ( ll. xiv. 86) : cf. P Tebt II. 276 .39 (astrological ii/iii A.D.) ἀπὸ νε [ότ ]η̣τ̣ο̣ς̣, PSI VI. 685 .7 (iv/A.D.) ἐν τῷ τῆς νεότ ?]ητός μου χρόνῳ , and Kaibel 322 .3 τήνδ ἄρ᾽ ἐμὴν νεότητα πατὴρ Παιδέρως ἐνέγραψεν ( imaginem iuvenilem ). See also Didache iv. 9 ἀπὸ νεότητος διδάξεις τὸν φόβον τοῦ θεοῦ . As showing that νεότης ( 1Ti_4:12 ) may cover mature age, see Ramsay cited s.v. νέος , and cf. Iren. c. Haer. ii. 22 triginta annorum aetas prima indolis est iuvenis et extenditur usque ad quadragesimum annum. MGr νιότη , youth.
