σύνδουλος, ου, ὁ (Eur., Lysias et al.; ins [New Docs 2, 54]; BGU 1141, 20 [13 B.C.]; PLond III, 1213a, 4 p. 121 [65–66 A.D.]; PLips 40 II, 3; 2 Esdr; Jos., Ant. 11, 118. Other reff. in Herodas ed. AKnox and WHeadlam 1922 p. 252f)

① one who, along w. others, is in a relationship of total obedience to one master or owner, fellow-slave (e.g. Herodas 5, 56) Mt 24:49; Hs 5, 2, 9f.

② a subordinate in total obedience to a ruler, slave, esp. typical of eastern social perceptions

ⓐ of the relationship betw. an oriental court official and the ruler (s. δοῦλος 2bα) Mt 18:28f, 31, 33.

ⓑ of a relationship to the heavenly κύριος. Paul and Ign. designate certain Christians as their σύνδουλοι: Col 1:7; 4:7 (σύνδουλος ἐν κυρίῳ); IEph 2:1; IMg 2; IPhld 4; ISm 12:2 (in the last two passages there are no names mentioned; the ‘assistants’ [διάκοναι] are called ς.). In Rv 6:11 σύνδουλος also has the sense ‘fellow-Christian’. Since it is a truism that one can be a slave to only one master, such self-identification, far from being a declaration of mean servility, served notice that ultimate allegiance was owed to God or Christ alone.

ⓒ In Rv the revealing angel calls himself the fellow-slave of the seer and his brothers 19:10; 22:9.—New Docs 2, 54. M-M. TW.
