This word is quoted by LS from Aristophanes and Hyperides, in both cases only as cited by later writers. Its appearance in Mark (Mark 11:4) and the δ -text of Acts (Acts 19:28 D etc.) is in accord with its frequency in the papyri of the Roman age, e.g. PSI 38.2 (A.D. 101) ἀ ]ν ̣αγ ̣[ραφό (μενος) ἐ ]π᾽ ἀμφόδ (ου) Φρο [υρίου ], P Fay 28.4 (A.D. 150–1) (= Selections, p. 81) Τασουχαρίου τῆς Διδᾶ ἀπ [ὸ ἀ ]μφόδου Ἑρμουθιακῆς. Grenfell and Hunt translate the word ";quarter,"; vicus. A large number of these are named, and residents are registered in the ἀπογραφαί as ἀπ᾽ ἀμφόδου Ἀπολλωνίου Ἱερακίου and the like, or ἀπὸ Μακεδόνων with ἀμφόδου omitted. Cf. Syll 528, τοὺς ἐν τῶι ἀνφόδωι τετάχ (θ)αι ἀπὸ τοῦ πύργου τοῦ τῆς Ἀγαθῆς Τύχης ἕως τοῦ τῆς Εὐετηρίας, where Dittenberger defines ἄ. as ";pars oppidi domibus inter se contingentibus exaedificata, quae undique viis circumdatur."; On its gender cf. Mayser Gr. p. 261 n.
