Brit.

/ˈaɡrəfə/, U.S.

/ˈæɡrəfə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin agrapha.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin agrapha (1525 or earlier denoting works of Plato, 1555 or earlier denoting scripture) < ancient Greek ἄγραϕα , use as noun (in ancient Greek to denote unwritten laws, in early Byzantine Greek (from 4th cent.) to denote writings not included in canonical scripture) of neuter plural of ἄγραϕος unwritten < ἀ- a- prefix⁶ + -γραϕος -graph comb. form.The singular form agraphon is also occasionally attested; compare:1897 Open Court Sept. 535 Ropes rejects this agraphon. Westcott calls it a ‘very singular saying’, and quotes it among the variations.1950 Sc. Jrnl. Theol. 3 300 In particular he lays the axe to the word mysterion as not being a genuine word of Jesus, in spite of the fact that an agraphon survives through Clement of Alexandria.

With plural agreement. Sayings which are attributed to Jesus but are not recorded in the canonical Gospels. Cf. Apocrypha n.
