Mommsen (Sitzungsb. d. preussischen Akademie, 1895, No. XXVII) argues that this word, which occurs in the TR of Acts 28:16, means there princeps peregrinorum, but in P Lond 196.5 (c. A.D. 138–161) (= II. p. 153) the editor prefers to understand the title as = princeps castrorum, and compares Mommsen l.c. p. 498. See his note ad l. from which the foregoing is derived.
We may add references to Vett. Val. p. 76.13 ποιοῦσι στρατοπεδάρχας ναυτικῶν τε καὶ πεζικῶν ἄρχοντας, and to OGIS 605.3 (v/A.D.).
