Subjects in this Topic:
ETHNARCH is a Greek word translated by ‘governor’ in 2Co_11:32. It is used also of Simon the high priest (1Ma_14:47; 1Ma_15:1-2). Its exact meaning is uncertain, but it appears to indicate the ruler of a nation or tribe which is itself living with separate laws, etc., amidst an alien race.
