I

1. warden of a temple, as a sacred officer, τοῖς ἱεροῖς ν. γίγνεσθαι Pl. Lg. 759a; ἱερέας τε καὶ ν. ib. 953a; παρὰ Μεγαβύξῳ τῷ τῆς Ἀρτέμιδος ν. X. An. 5.3.6, cf. Inscr.Prien. 231 (iv B.C.); βωμοῖο ν. AP 11.324 (Autom.); ν. τοῦ μεγάλου Σαράπιδος POxy. 100.2 (ii A.D.).

2. sacristan, Herod. 4.41, 45, Paus. 10.12.5; ἐνβόλιον ἔχων ν. in a list of silver articles, IG 7.3498.25 (Oropus).

II title assumed by Asiatic cities in Imperial times, when they had built a temple in honour of their patron-god or the Emperor, as Ephesus, ν. Ἀρτέμιδος Act 19:35; also as Adj., τῷ ν. Ἐφεσίων δήμῳ OGI 481.3 (ii A.D.), cf. BMus.Inscr. 481*.4 (Ephesus, ii A.D.); δὶς ν. τῶν Σεβαστῶν, of Ephesus, OGI 496.7 (ii A.D.); of Smyrna, IGRom. 4.1419. (Prob. derived from κορέω, sweep, the orig. sense being prob. temple-sweeper, cf. E. Ion 115, 121, 795 (where the word does not occur), νεωκορέω 1.2, 11, Ph. 2.236, Hsch.; but Suid. expl. it ὁ τὸν νεὼν κοσμῶν.., ἀλλ’ οὐχ ὁ σαίρων.)

νεωκόρος neōkoros 1x

    pr. one who sweeps or cleanses a temple; generally, one who has the charge of a temple; in NT a devotee city, as having specially dedicated a temple to some deity, Act 19:35

G3511 — νεωκόρος

νεωκορου, ὁ, ἡ (νεώς or ναός, and κορέω to sweep; (questioned by some; a hint of this derivation is found in Philo de sacerd. honor. § 6 (cf. νεωκορία, de somniis 2, 42), and Hesychius (under the word) defines the word ὁ τόν ναόν κόσμων. κόρειν γάρ τό σαίρειν ἔλεγον (cf. under the word σηκοκόρος; so Etym. Magn. 407, 27, cf. under the word νεωκόρος); yet Suidas under the word κόρη, p. 2157 c. says νεωκόρος οὐχ ὁ Σαρών τοῦ νεωκορου ἀλλ' ὁ ἐπιμελουμενος αὐτοῦ (cf. under the words, νεωκόρος, σηκοκόρος); hence, some connect the last half with root κορ, κολ, cf. Latincuro, colo));

1. properly, one who sweeps and cleans a temple.

2. one who has charge of a temple, to keep and adorn it, a sacristan: Xenophon, an. 5, 3, 6; Plato, legg. 6, p. 759 a.

3. the worshipper of a deity (οὕς i. e. the Israelites ὁ Θεός ἑαυτῷ νεωκορους ἦγεν through the wilderness, Josephus, b. j. 5, 9, 4); as appears from coins still extant, it was an honorary title (temple-keeper or temple-warden (cf. 2 above)) of certain cities, especially of Asia Minor, in which the special worship of some deity or even of some deified human ruler had been established (cf. Stephanus, Thesaurus, v., p. 1472f; (cf. B. D., under the word worshipper)); so νεωκόρος... τῆς Ἀρτέμιδος, of Ephesus, Act 19:35; (see Lightfoot in Contemp. Rev. for 1878, p. 294f; Wood, Discoveries at Ephesus (Lond. 1877), Appendix, passim).

* νεω - κόρος , - ου ,

a temple-keeper; as honorary title given to a city ( v. DB, i, 722 b) : Act 19:35. †
