Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

συνπολίτης, “ fellow-citizen,” a comp%. condemned by the Atticists (Rutherford WP p. 255f.), but found in Eph 219: cf. BGU Il. 632° (ii/A.D.) παρὰ ᾿Αντωνε[ίζνου tod συνπολ[ε]ίτου ἡμῶν, Preisigke 4317°%° (c. A.D. 200) ὕβρισμαι. . παρὰ πάντων τῶν συμπολιτῶν, and P Oxy VIII. 1119!® (a.p. 254) συμ]πολεῖται ἡμέτεροι προσῆλθον ἡμεῖν διὰ βιβλειδίων, ‘‘ our fellow-citizens have approached us in a petition ” (Ed.). The verb occurs in what appears to be a school exercise written on the verso of P Oxy I. 79 (A.D. 181-192), where, after a reference to the death of someone, the writer continues σὺν τοῖς o[tplatidtais . . . συμπολιτευόμεθα. See also OG/S 143° (B.C. 146-116), with note.
