Atimos describes being denied honor or regarded as lower in honor, whether of a prophet, persons, or body members.

    The nominative singular form describes a prophet as without honor in his fatherland and home in Mark 6:4 and Matthew 13:57. The nominative plural form marks persons contrasted with those called honored in 1 Corinthians 4:10, while the comparative accusative plural neuter form identifies body members thought less honorable in 1 Corinthians 12:23; in that verse the APB renders the comparison as "less honorable" and says greater honor is bestowed on them.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "dishonored" in Mark 6:4 and 1 Corinthians 4:10, "without honor" in Matthew 13:57, and "less honorable" in 1 Corinthians 12:23. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
