Abstract

The appearance of the so-called hapax legomena in a given biblical book is always a great mystery, which raises a justified question about the purpose of their use by the inspired author. This is even more important because the biblical authors develop their own styles and ways of expressing thoughts using more or less clear terms and sentence syntax. The adverb ἀνδρωδῶς raises similar questions about its place in the First Book of the Maccabees. The article tries to find an answer to the possible purpose of its use by the hagiographer. Therefore, the following issues are considered. Firstly, is the theology of the book itself sufficient to explain the place of the adverb in this text? Secondly, is it necessary to refer to other books of the Septuagint? Thirdly, should the semantic meaning of the discussed adverb be clarified by reference to the texts of ancient Greek literature in which it appears? It seems that it is in its meaning, discovered in the course of the analysis, that the answer to the purpose of the record made by the hagiographer should be sought.
