βουλευτής, βουλευτου, ὁ, a councillor, senator, (buleuta, Pliny, epistles): first in Homer, Iliad 6, 114; of a member of the Sanhedrin, Mar_15:43; Luk_23:50. (Job_3:14; Job_12:17.)

βουλευτής , -οῦ , ὁ ( < βουλεύω ), [in LXX : Job_3:14 ; Job_12:17 ( H3289 ) * ;] a councillor, a senator; of a member of the Sanhedrin: Mar_15:43 , Luk_23:50 .†

βουλευτής [page 115] Apart from Mar_15:43 , Luk_23:50 , where both writers had Gentile readers in view, neither βουλευτής nor βουλή seems to have been used by Jews as a technical term in connexion with their Sanhedrin, although Hicks ( CR i. p. 43) refers to Josephus B. J. ii. 17. 1 οἵ τε ἄρχοντες καὶ οἱ βουλευταί , and Antt. xx. 1. 2 (in an edict of Claudius) Ἱεροσολυμιτῶν ἄρχουσι βουλῇ δήμῳ Ἰουδαίων παντὶ ἔθνει . As illustrating the use of βουλευτής in Egypt it may be noted that in P Lond 348 .4 ( c. A.D. 205) (= II. p. 215) a certain Heron is described as βουλευτής of Arsinoe, and an ex-κοσμητής (κεκοσμητευκώς ). A century later a letter is addressed by one Eudaimon γνμ (νασιαρχήσας ) βουλ (ευτὴς ) of Oxyrhynchus to two colleagues, ἀμφοτέροις συνδίκοις βουλευταῖς τῆς [λαμπρο ]τ̣ (άτης ) Ὀξυρυνχ [ιτ ]ῶν πόλεως , Chrest. II. 196 .2 ff (A.D. 307 Mitteis, not here alone, misprints v. Chr. ). An inscr. of A.D. 214 5, OGIS 209 .4 , found at a place beyond Philae, gives the title to a ἱερεὺς γόμου (see s.v. ). The editor observes that it must refer to some Greek community, and suggests Ptolemais : he quotes CIG 5000 ii. 3 , where the brother of the subject of this inscr. is called βουλευτής , ἄρξας Πτολεμαιέων see the note for other passages. In P Fay 37 .2 (iii/A.D.) an order is issued for the arrest of Emes, who has been accused by Aurelius Nilus councillor (ἐνκαλούμενον ὑπὸ Αὐρηλίου Νείλου βουλευτοῦ ) : cf. P Fay 85 .3 (A.D. 247) with the editors note. [The crux of P Grenf II. 63 i. 9 (? middle ii/A.D.) βουλ (ευτὴς ) σιτολόγων is now solved by the correct reading, βοηθ (ὸς ) σιτολόγων : see Wilcken Archiv iii. p. 124.] In OGIS 56 (Canopus Decree of Ptolemy III, B.C. 239) we read of the βουλευταὶ ἱερεῖς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ , whom Dittenberger (n. 51) describes as collegium quod de rebus cuiusque delubri administrandis consultabat. See also Hohlwein L Ιgypte Romaine , p. 133 f., and the index to OGIS.
