[Seite 370] ὁ, der Asiarch, der Oberpriester in der Provinz Asien unter der Herrschaft der Römer, Strab. 14; Act. Ap. 19, 31; Euseb. hist. ev. 4, 15.
Greek (Liddell-Scott)
Ἀσιάρχης: -ου, ὁ, ἄρχων τῆς Ἀσίας· ἑκάστη πόλις τῆς ἀνθυπατικῆς ἐπαρχίας τῆς Ἀσίας ἐξέλεγεν ἕνα ἐκ τῶν ἐντιμοτάτων καὶ πλουσιωτάτων πολιτῶν αὐτῆς ὅπως προεδρεύσῃ εἰς τοὺς κατ’ ἐκεῖνο τὸ ἔτος γενησομένους ἀγῶνας εἰς τιμὴν τῶν θεῶν καὶ τοῦ αὐτοκράτορος τῶν Ρωμαίων. Ἑκάστη πόλις ἤγγελλε τὸν ἐκλεχθέντα εἰς τὸ κοινὸν τῆς Ἀσίας, ὅπερ συνήρχετο ἐν Ἐφέσῳ, ἢ Σμύρνῃ ἢ ἐν Σάρδεσι. Τὸ κοινὸν ἐξέλεγεν ἐκ πάντων τούτων δέκα οὓς ἐξέπεμπεν εἰς τὸν ἀνθύπατον, οὗτος δὲ ἐξέλεγεν ἕνα ἐξ αὐτῶν ὅπως προεδρεύσῃ ἐπὶ τῶν ἄλλων. Τοῦτο ἐξηγεῖ πῶς ἐν ταῖς Πράξ. τῶν Ἀποστ. ἀναφέρονται πολλοὶ Ἀσιάρχαι, ἐνῷ ὁ Εὐσέβ. ἀναφέρει μόνο ἕνα, Στράβ. 649, Πράξ. Ἀποστ. ιθ΄ 31, Μαρτύρ. Πολυκάρπ. 1037Β (= 1045Α ἀρχιερεὺς) Συλλ.

French (Bailly abrégé)
ου (ὁ) :
gouverneur de la province romaine d’Asie.
Étymologie: Ἀσία, ἄρχω.
English (Strong)
from Ἀσία and ἀρχή; an Asiarch or president of the public festivities in a city of Asia Minor: chief of Asia.
English (Thayer)
Ἀσιαρχου, ὁ, an Asiarch, President of Asia: τό κοινόν, selected ten out of the number of candidates, and sent them to the proconsul; and the proconsul, apparently, chose one of these ten to preside over the rest. This explains how it is that in Acts , the passage cited several Asiarchs are spoken of, while Eusebius, h. e. 4,15, 27 mentions only one; (perhaps also the title outlasted the service). Cf. Meyer on Acts , the passage cited; Winer s RWB under the word Asiarchen; (BB. DD. under the word; but especially Le Bas et Waddington, Voyage Archeol. Inscriptions part. v., p. 244 f; Kuhn, Die städtische u. bürgerl. Verf. des röm. Reichs, i. 106ff; Marquardt, Röm. Staatsverwalt. i. 374ff; Stark in Schenkel i., 263; especially Lightfoot Polycarp, p. 987ff).
