This is the Authorized Version translation of , the Gr. equivalent of pro consule, proconsul (q.v. [Note: quod vide, which see.] ). In NT times proconsul was the name given to the governor of a senatorial province-that is, a province under the supervision of the Roman Senate, which appointed the governors. In the NT the following senatorial provinces are referred to as under proconsuls: Asia, governed by an ex-consul, called proconsul, a province of the highest class, and Cyprus and Achaia, each governed by an ex-praetor, also called proconsul, provinces of the second class.<\/p>\n

stands in our version as a translation of two Heb. and one Greek term.<\/p>\n
1. This rendering occurs in 1Ki 22:47, of the , nitstsab’ (literally set over), or praefect, apparently constituted a sheik by common consent of the Edomitish clans prior to royalty. See DUKE. It is also spoken of the officers or chiefs of the commissariat appointed by Solomon (1Ki 4:5, etc.) SEE PURVEYOR.<\/p>\n
2. The same rendering occurs in Est 8:9; Est 9:3, of the , pechah’ (pehhah, a Sanscrit term, whence the modern pasha), or Persian prosfect on this side the Euphrates; applied also to the governors of inferior rank in the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Median empires, and even to the governor of Jerusalem. SEE GOVERNOR.<\/p>\n
3. Proconsul () was the proper title of the governor of a Roman province when appointed by the senate. SEE PROVINCE. Several such are mentioned in the Acts, viz. Sergius Paulus in Cyprus (8:7, 8, 12), Gallio in Achaia (18:12), and the chief officer of Achaia, whose court is indefinitely referred to in ch. 19:38, by the use of the plural (see Smith’s Dict. of Class. Antiq. s.v. Proconsul). SEE PROCONSUL.<\/p>\n
in 1 Kings 22:47<\/span>, means a prefect; one set over others. The same Hebrew word is rendered “officer;” i.e., chief of the commissariat appointed by Solomon (1 Kings 4:5<\/span>, etc.).<\/p>\n In Esther 8:9<\/span>; 9:3<\/span> (R.V., “governor”) it denotes a Persian prefect “on this side” i.e., in the region west of the Euphrates. It is the modern word _pasha_.<\/p>\n In Acts 13:7<\/span>, 8<\/span>, 12<\/span>; 18:12<\/span>, it denotes a proconsul; i.e., the governor of a Roman province holding his appointment from the senate. The Roman provinces were of two kinds, (1<\/strong>) senatorial and (2<\/strong>) imperial. The appointment of a governor to the former was in the hands of the senate, and he bore the title of proconsul (Gr. anthupatos). The appointment of a governor to the latter was in the hands of the emperor, and he bore the title of propraetor (Gr. antistrategos).<\/p>\n (“proconsul” or “propraetor”); Greek anthupatos. The supreme governor of the provinces left by the emperors, still under the Roman senate (Act 13:7; Act 19:38, plural for singular). The emperor gave the peaceable provinces to the senate. Over these the senate appointed those who had been praetors; governing only one year; having no power of life and death, not wearing sword or military costume (Dion. Cass., 53:13-14).<\/p>\n Achaia had been imperial, governed by a procurator, but was restored to the senate by Claudius (Tacitus, Annals 1:76; Suet., Claud., 25). So Gallio is rightly named “proconsul” or “deputy” (Act 18:12). Cyprus after the battle of Actium was an imperial province (Dion. Cuss., 53:12), but five years later was given to the senate and had a deputy; so, Act 13:7-8; Act 13:12 is accurate. A coin of Ephesus, in the senate’s province of Asia, illustrates the use of “deputies” in Act 19:38.<\/p>\n DEPUTY.1. AV [Note: Authorized Version.] of Est 8:9; Est 9:3 (RV [Note: Revised Version.] governor) as tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of pechh. See Governor. 2. AV [Note: Authorized Version.] of Act 13:7-8; Act 13:12; Act 18:12; Act 19:38 (RV [Note: Revised Version.] proconsul) as tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of Gr. anthupatos. See Proconsul. 3. RV [Note: Revised Version.] of Jer 51:23; Jer 51:28 (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ruler), Dan 3:2-3; Dan 6:7 (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] governor) as tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of sgn or its Aram. [Note: Aramaic.] equivalent. The term denotes in these passages a superior official or prefect of the Babylonian Empire. It is applied elsewhere (Ezr 9:2, Neh 2:16; Neh 4:14; Neh 4:19 etc.) to petty officials in Judah (EV [Note: English Version.] rulers, RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] deputies). 4. AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 1Ki 22:47 as tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of nizzb (lit. one set up or appointed), used of the vassal-king of Edom.<\/p>\n depu-ti: This is the correct rendering of , nicabh (1Ki 22:47). In Est 8:9 and Est 9:3 the term improperly represents , saghan, in the King James Version, and is corrected to governor in the Revised Version (British and American). In the New Testament deputy represents , anthupatos (Act 13:7, Act 13:8, Act 13:12; Act 18:12; Act 19:38), which the Revised Version (British and American) correctly renders proconsul (which see). The Roman proconsuls were officers invested with consular power over a district outside the city, usually for one year. Originally they were retiring consuls, but after Augustus the title was given to governors of senatorial provinces, whether they had held the office of consul or not. The proconsul exercised judicial as well as military power in his province, and his authority was absolute, except as he might be held accountable at the expiration of his office. See GOVERNMENT.<\/p>\n In the O.T. governor of a district. 1Ki 22:47; Est 8:9; Est 9:3. In the N.T. proconsul, one who acted as governor of a Roman province with consular power. Act 13:7-8; Act 13:12; Act 18:12; Act 19:38.<\/p>\n An officer who administers the functions of a superior in his absence.<\/p>\n 1Ki 22:47<\/span>; Act 13:7-8<\/span>; Act 18:12<\/span>; Act 19:38<\/span> <\/p>\n Deputy. Act 13:7-8; Act 13:12; Act 19:38. The Greek word signifies proconsul, the title of the Roman governors who were appointed by the senate.<\/p>\n * For DEPUTY see PROCONSUL <\/p>\n Deputy This is the Authorized Version translation of , the Gr. equivalent of pro consule, proconsul (q.v.
