In Titus 1:7, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in a series of qualities an overseer must not be. The APB renders the sequence "not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness," placing the term within that negative qualification.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Titus 1:7, the APB presents the term in the negative qualification "not quick-tempered." This rendering confirms the clause's overall contrast rather than supplying a separate lexical distinction.
