Matthew 27:37

The Wooden Pole

And they placed above his head his charge written: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews."

The word *aitian* means the formal charge or accusation — the legal ground for execution — rendered here as "charge" rather than the softer "accusation" to reflect its judicial force in context. Standard rendering otherwise from the source text.
