Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἄμφοδον. This word is quoted by LS from Aristophanes and Hyperides, in both cases only as cited by later writers. Its appearance in Mark (114) and the 8-text of Acts (1928 D etc.) is in accord with its frequency in the papyri of the Roman age, e.g. PST 35° (a. Ὁ. 101) ἀἸναγίραφό(μενος) ἐ]π᾽ ἀμφόδ(ου) pol vpiov], P Fay 284 (a.p. 150-1) (= Selections, p. 81) Tacovxaplov τῆς Avda ἀπὸ ἀἸμφόδου “Eppovdaxfs. 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 ᾿Απολλωνίου Ἱερακίου and the like, or ἀπὸ Μακεδόνων with ἀμφόδου omitted. Cf. νὼ 528, τοὺς ἐν τῶι ἀνφόδωι τετάχ(θ)αι ἀπὸ τοῦ πύργου τοῦ τῆς ᾿Αγαθῆς Τύχης ἕως τοῦ τῆς Εἰὐετηρίας, where Dittenberger defines & as ‘‘ pars oppidi domibus inter se contingentibus exaedificata, quae undique viis circumdatur.” On its gender cf. Mayser Gr. p. 261 n.
