another’s
Allotrios identifies what belongs to someone else or stands outside one’s own people, place, work, or possession.
The term most often marks something assigned to, possessed by, or associated with someone other than the person under discussion: another’s sins, labor, ministry area, blood, possession, servant, or foundation. It also characterizes people, land, and armies as outside the relevant community or homeland.

In John 10:5, dative forms occur in the contrast between the sheep and a stranger whose voice they do not know, while Hebrews 11:34 speaks of foreign armies put to flight and Matthew 17:25 distinguishes sons from others who pay tribute.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with expressions such as “others,” “another's,” “foreign,” “stranger,” and “not his own” across the verses. These variations reflect the surrounding clauses rather than a word-for-word alignment.
