Vocabulary of the Greek NT

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.) [π ]ερὶ ἀρχισυνάγ [ωγ ]ον Γ. Ἰούλιον [Ο ]ὐάλεντα δῶ [ρ ]ον ἀποκατέστη [σα ]ν : C. Julius Valens is the Master of the Barbers’ Company. See further Ziebarth Vereinswesen, p. 55 ff. 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. Paul, p. 104 n.1.
