ἄμφοδον [page 28] This word is quoted by LS from Aristophanes and Hyperides, in both cases only as cited by later writers. Its appearance in Mark ( Mar_11:4 ) and the δ -text of Acts ( Act_19:28 D etc.) is in accord with its frequency in the papyri of the Roman age, e.g. PSI 38 .2 (A.D. 101) ἀ ]ν̣αγ̣[ραφό (μενος ) ἐ ]π᾽ ἀμφόδ (ου ) Φρο [υρίου ], P Fay 28 .4 (A.D. 150 1) (= Selections , p. 81) Τασουχαρίου τῆς Διδᾶ ἀπ [ὸ ἀ ]μφόδου Ἑρμουθιακῆς . Grenfell and Hunt translate the word quarter, vicus. A large number of these are named, and residents are registered in the ἀπογραφαί as ἀπ᾽ ἀμφόδου Ἀπολλωνίου Ἱερακίου and the like, or ἀπὸ Μακεδόνων with ἀμφόδου omitted. Cf. Syll 528, τοὺς ἐν τῶι ἀνφόδωι τετάχ (θ )αι ἀπὸ τοῦ πύργου τοῦ τῆς Ἀγαθῆς Τύχης ἕως τοῦ τῆς Εὐετηρίας , where Dittenberger defines ἄ . as pars oppidi domibus inter se contingentibus exaedificata, quae undique viis circumdatur. On its gender cf. Mayser Gr. p. 261 n.
