Curtius, § 216)), among the Greeks an earthen jar, into which wine was drawn off for keeping (a process called κατασταμνίζειν), but also used for other purposes.

STRONGS NT 4713a: στασιαστήςστασιαστής, στασιαστου, ὁ (στασιάζω), the author of or a participant in an insurrection: Mar_15:7 L T Tr WH ((Diodorus from 10, 11, 1, p. 171, 6 Dindorf; Dionysius Halicarnassus, ii. 1199); Josephus, Antiquities 14, 1, 3; Ptolemy).
