Preisigke 623 (B.C. 80–69) ὧν ἀρχισυνά ]γωγος κ ̣α ̣ι ̣ ἀρχιερεὺς [name presumably followed] : the previous mention of θε ]ῶν Φιλοπατόρων suffices to show that a ";profane"; writer uses the term. Thayer’s inscriptional and literary quotations had already corrected the implication of Grimm’s note. Cagnat I. 782 (Thrace) τὸν βω [μ ]ὸν τῇ συναγω [γ ]ῇ τῶν κουρέω [ν ] (";collegio tonsorum,"; Ed.)

For Jewish exx. see the Alexandrian inscr. of the time of Augustus in Archiv ii. p. 430, no. 5* and C. and B., no. 559 (ii. p. 649), ὁ διὰ βίου ἀρχι [συν ]άγωγος, with Ramsay’s remarks, showing that Julia Severa (A.D. 60–80), who figures in this Akmonian inscr., was a Jewess with the honorary title of ";ruler of the synagogue"; : cf. also Ramsay CRE, p. 68, and Lake, Earlier Epistles of S.
