μέν [G:Part]
on the other hand
μέν,
conjunctive particle (originally a form of μήν), usually related to a following δέ or other adversative conjunction, and distinguishing the word or clause with which it stands from that which follows.
It is generally untranslatable and is not nearly so frequent in NT as in cl. Like δέ, it never stands first in a clause.

Answered by δέ or some other particle: μὲν . . . δέ, indeed . . . but, Refs [Mat 3:11, Luk 3:16, al.]; with pronouns, ὃς μὲν . . . ὃς δέ, one . . . another, Mat 21:35, al.; pl., Refs [Php 1:16, 17]; ὃ μὲν . . . ὃ δὲ . . . ὃ δέ, some . . . some . . . some, Mat 13:8; τοῦτο μὲν . . . τοῦτο δέ, partly . . . partly, Heb 10:33; μὲν . . . ἔπειτα, Jhn 11:6; μὲν . . . καί, Luk 8:5.
