[Architelones <\\See definition 754\\>,] rather, "a chief publican," or tax gatherer. Probably Zacchaeus, who appears from his name to have been a Jew, farmed the revenue of the district around Jericho, having others under him, who either rented of him smaller portions, or were employed as servants to collect the taxes.

Rather, as Elsner renders [pros <\\See definition 4314\\> autou <\\See definition 847\\>,] concerning him; for our Lord speaks of him in the third person.
