English (Strong)

from Α (as a negative particle) and a derivative of σπένδω; literally, without libation (which usually accompanied a treaty), i.e. (by implication) truceless: implacable, truce-breaker.

English (Thayer)

ἀσπονδον (σπονδή a libation, which, as a kind of sacrifice, accompanied the making of treaties and compacts; cf. Latin spondere); (from Thucydides down);
1. without a treaty or covenant; of things not mutually agreed upon, e. g. abstinence from hostilities, Thucydides 1,37, etc.
2. that cannot be persuaded to enter into a covenant, implacable (in this sense from Aeschylus down; especially in the phrase ἄσπονδος πόλεμος, Dem. pro cor., p. 314,16; Polybius 1,65, 6; (Philo de sacrif. § 4); Cicero, ad Att. 9,10, 5; (cf. Trench, § lii.)): joined with ἄστοργος, 2 Timothy 3:3.
